Callie Dawson had her future all mapped out——until her long-term boyfriend dumped her and left her with an eviction notice instead of a shiny engagement ring. Now she’s back in her sleepy hometown, single, jaded, and absolutely done with love. 

But when her cousin—whose photography business is barely clinging to life—begs Callie to help with a romantic “blind date” photoshoot, Callie can’t say no. Even if it’s weird. And cringe. And definitely a bad idea. Bracing for an afternoon of awkward small talk and forced smiles, Callie anticipates the worst. Then he walks in—the grumpy, yet ridiculously hot, local mechanic with a knack for flipping vintage RVs—and Callie’s carefully fortified walls start to crumble.

Jensen Shepherd isn’t looking for a relationship. He wears his painful past around like armor and only agrees to do the photoshoot as a favor to a friend. But being around Callie starts to stir something in his long-shattered heart—something he’s not sure he’s ready to feel.
 

And the photos from their shoot? Yeah, they go viral.
 

Suddenly, everyone’s talking about the “perfect” couple. As their social media fame skyrockets, so does the chemistry crackling between them. But Jensen believes he’s too broken to ever heal and Callie is convinced love is just another pretty lie.
 

Just when their feelings reach a breaking point, a devastating tragedy strikes, forcing them to confront the painful truths of their pasts—and the undeniable connection between them.
