The Pop Star Next Door

First grade teacher Maisie Lang thought her heartbreak was old news—until her ex-boyfriend and former best friend announce their wedding in her small hometown of Maplewood Springs. Determined to keep her dignity (and her distance), Maisie vows to avoid the whole debacle… until a run-in at the local diner ends with an accidental, slightly panicked white lie: she's bringing her new boyfriend to the wedding. One small problem—she doesn't have one. Enter Logan Humphries, her new next-door neighbor—and the last person she expected to recognize her. He's a childhood troublemaker turned world-famous pop star hiding out from the tabloids, and when he offers to play the role of Maisie's boyfriend, the deal seems simple. Pretend to be in love and keep their hearts out of it. It's the perfect plan. No strings. No real feelings. And definitely no kissing, just a little pretend romance to save face. But when pretending starts to feel real, Maisie will have to choose: protect her heart—or risk it all for the man she never saw coming. For fans of fake dating, opposites attract, and small-town love stories. This feel-good clean romance will make you believe that sometimes, love really is worth the risk.
