Publisher's Synopsis
Liz Peters hasn't exactly gotten the happily-ever-after she's read about in her Jane Austen books. 'Always a bridesmaid' is more fitting to the way life has been passing this good girl by. About to go postal from loneliness, she meets a man who doesn't seem to fit any of her requirements for a book-worthy hero.Kieran Carter would do just about anything to put a smile on his terminally ill mother's face. When he meets a woman in the ice cream aisle at the grocery store, Kieran finally has opportunity to do just that. If he needs to lie in order to give his mom a little hope? Not a freakin problem.It all seems so neat and tidy. An arrangement is struck that benefits them both, but when lines get blurry and the guilt of lying to everyone they love becomes too much, neither Liz or Kieran can tell what's real and what's for show. And somewhere in the middle is the last person they ever expected to fall in love with.
