Description
Romance writer Penelope Banks can write the perfect love story, but when it comes to family, all she's got is a rough draft. Penny shelved the idea of fitting in with her high-achieving family years ago, but when her new business venture a romance bookstore is at risk of closing before its doors have opened, she's forced to ask for help from the one place she never expected. Home. Penny's prepared for the usual Thanksgiving lineup: her perfect sister, meddling nana, matchmaking mother, and workaholic father. The guest she didn't anticipate? Her ex-husband, Smith. After an awkward rideshare with Smith leaves Penny questioning why the romance in her life exists only in her novels, Penny adds some fiction to reality and turns her father's colleague into the perfect fake boyfriend. With only four days to mend damaged relationships, and her bookstore's future at stake, all the stars must align for Penny to finally write a happily ever after for herself and her family.
