Shawn Holmes is the youngest head coach in NFL history, and his team has the best record in the league. He should be excited about their win streak, but he's distracted by his best friend, Lacey Daniels, sitting in the stands at his game with a date.

When Laceyā€™s date refuses to kiss her on the kiss cam, sheā€™s mortifiedā€¦ until Shawn saves the day, jumping in to kiss her in front of seventy thousand screaming fans.

The kiss doesnā€™t mean anything--it's just a friend helping out a friend. But when a video of their PDA goes viral, Lacey and Shawn are forced to reevaluate how to handle the publicity.

With Shawn's family asking when he's going to settle down and Lacey wanting to impress her boss at the hospital Christmas gala she's supposed to attend, they agree to pretend to date each other through the holidays.

As the weather turns colder and they spend more time pretending, things between Lacey and Shawn heat up. Soon, faking it feels like the best relationship both have ever had. With New Yearā€™s approaching, will they realize how much they care about each other, or end the agreement and move on?

Delphie Denise Bookham is dead. She never thought choking would lead to her demise, but here she isā€”done in by a cheap microwave hamburger. And to make matters worse? Sheā€™s dressed in her most atrocious pajamasā€”green fuzzy socks and a ratty t-shirt with a cartoon star saying, ā€œHoney, itā€™s Time to Sparkle and Shine!ā€ Things canā€™t get much worse, can they? Oh, they most certainly can. You see, Delphie is all alone (letā€™s be honest, sheā€™s preferred it that way until this whole choking thing); sheā€™s got The Tinder Swindler paused on her TV, and the lone browser tab she […]

Jess K. Hardy has done something miraculous. She made me love Cole Sanderson more than I already loved Matthew Madigan. I was sure it couldn’t be done, but alas, here we are. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I want to live in Red Falls. It has small-town energy, beautiful scenery, a delicious bakery, a fantastic bar named Jimmy O’Callaghan’s Irish Public House (with a jukebox), and insanely hot 50-some-odd-year-old rockstars. What’s not to love?  Cole Sanderson is the epitome of the ‘golden retriever’ MMC, and I’m pretty sure my heart grew three sizes while reading […]

Farley Jones is a lot of things. But ask anyone, and the first thing they will tell you is, that she is funny. Like really,Ā REALLY funny. But booking gigs as a woman in comedy is hard.

He retired from comedy when he unexpectedly became a single dad and the sole caregiver to his daughter, Hazel. Itā€™s Hazelā€™s 7th birthday, and things arenā€™t going well. A freak rainstorm tears through LA, ruining her perfect water park party plans. Every […]
