There are a lot of romance tropes I adore.
Enemies to lovers? Absolutely.
Forced proximity? Sign me up.
Small town? I will never get tired of it.
But if I had to choose my forever favorite, the trope that makes me click "Buy Now" faster than common sense can intervene, it would probably be fake dating.
Or fake engagement.
Or fake marriage.
Honestly, if two people are pretending they're in love while secretly falling in love, I am already emotionally invested.
I know. I know.
It's ridiculous.
No sane...
