About this ebook
Romance blossoms between two city planners posing as newlyweds in this first in a bright new series by acclaimed author Ruby Lang
The last thing Oliver Huang expects to see on the historic Mount Morris home tour is longtime acquaintance Fay Liu bustling up and kissing him hello. He’s happy to playact being a couple to save her from a pushy admirer. Fay’s beautiful, successful and smart, and if he’s being honest, Oliver has always had a bit of a thing for her.
Maybe more than a bit.
Geeking out over architectural details is Oliver and Fay’s shared love language, and soon they’re touring pricey real estate across Upper Manhattan as the terribly faux but terribly charming couple Darling and Olly.
For the first time since being laid off from the job he loved, Oliver has something to look forward to. And for the first time since her divorce, Fay’s having fun.
Somewhere between the light-filled living rooms and spacious closets they’ve explored, this faux relationship just may have sparked some very real feelings. For Oliver and Fay, home truly is where their hearts are.
One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Somehow this never added to my books the first time through on Kindle--anyway, a delightful fast read, cozy and sexy by turns, full of neighborly wanderlust, delicious architectural details, and great dialogue.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lang is clever and a fine author but this was mediocre as hell. There was no tension, it was cute. Everything was rushed, and it didn't ignite any spark of interest in me. A shame really bc I thought what little we see of the characters was very endearing and would've happily read another 200 pages. But the short form left me with little to cheer about, other than a pair of urban planning MCs.
