All Along: a friends to lovers, fake dating small town romantic comedy

What's a girl to do when her pen pal's parents assume they're dating? Clear up the misconception. Or.... roll with it?

Caleb and I have been pen pals since he left Smuggler's Hideaway to join the military.

Imagine my surprise when I discover the blond-haired, blue-eyed man who stars in all of my fantasies has returned to the island but didn't tell me. Worse yet? He claims he doesn't want to see me.

Ha! As if I'll let my friend become a hermit. Not on my watch.

But when I show up at his cabin, he refuses to let me in. Until his parents arrive. When his mom spots the picnic basket I'm carrying, she assumes I'm Caleb's girlfriend. To my surprise, he rolls with it.

After his parents leave, I get an even bigger surprise. Caleb wants me to pretend to be his girlfriend. His parents will worry less about him if he's in a relationship.

I'll be his fake girlfriend all day and all night long. Whatever the soldier needs, I'm there.

Too bad what he needs isn't to fall in love with me.

This friends to lovers, fake relationship, small town rom com features a heroine who has been secretly in love with her pen pal for years, a military hero who's been hurt and is lashing out at everyone he loves when he should be reaching out to them, a seal that doesn't know it's not a traffic stop, too many mermaid legends to mention, and a group of girlfriends who are considering a career change from brewery owners to matchmakers.

About the Author

D.E. Haggerty is actually just plain old Dena, but she thinks using initials makes her sound like one of the cool kids. She was born and raised in the U.S. but has spent the majority of her adult life abroad living in cool-sounding places like Istanbul, Heidelberg, and The Hague. She has job hopped from military policewoman to lawyer to B&B owner. She finally jumped off the job-hopping bandwagon a few years ago when she decided to turn her addiction to romance novels into a career. If anyone has ideas on how to turn a love of wine into a job, she's all ears.
