Vanessa left her small hometown to live a better life and she knows crying never solved anything. But at eight months pregnant, Vanessa finds herself crying a lot these days. She didn’t expect to have a baby alone or to be excited to be a mom or to put off telling her family for so long. But now forced to ride a bus before Christmas to visit the family she’s avoided for a decade, Vanessa can’t fight the tears. So when another passenger sits down to comfort her on the long, smelly bus ride, Vanessa has to convince herself it’s the hormones making him look so dreamily handsome and acting so kind.
Emmett may be focused, determined, and have a slight savior complex, but he’s not so cold-hearted as to ignore a crying woman on a bus, especially if she’s pregnant. Checking in on Vanessa he didn’t expect to feel a spark for the charming and independent spirit she is. Hippocratic oath or not, Emmett finds himself wanting to be there for the young, beautiful, and sharp-witted Vanessa. The plan is simple: be her pretend baby daddy. Caught in a poorly-prepped lie, Emmett and Vanessa must navigate trying to convince their families they’ve been together longer than a few hours, as well as rein in their growing feelings for each other. But with a built expiration date on their fake relationship, how long can they keep up the ruse?
