Be My Valentine in a Small Town by Tawdra Kandle

Alexandria:
When my agent arranges a fake engagement for me with Matt Westin, the hot new country singer, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea. He needs the publicity, and as an actress on the verge of making it big, I need to be seen in a stable relationship. But when we visit his hometown for Valentine’s Day, suddenly I find myself wishing Matt’s feelings and passionate words were the real deal.

Matt:
I’ve known love, and I’ve known heartbreak. I don’t recommend either. But my publicity firm wants me to have a serious girlfriend to go with my love songs, so I’m in the middle of a phony and temporary engagement. It’s actually not a bad deal: Alex is fun, and spending time with her isn’t a hardship.
Until we go back to my hometown so I can play a Valentine’s Day show . . . and everything I’ve been pretending feels all too genuine.
