Knot the Plan by Lena Foxwood

One little lie, three fake-dating alphas, and the very real feelings I never saw coming.

I can do just about anything. Run a room full of four-year-olds. Talk a toddler off a ledge. Throw a birthday party with a glue stick and sheer willpower.
The one thing I cannot do, catastrophically and hilariously, is lie.
So naturally, cornered by my mother and yet another “lovely alpha” she wants me to meet, I announced I already had a pack.

I do not have a pack. What I have is a family reunion in four weeks and three alphas to recruit before then. Fake it through one weekend, hand them back their lives, go home. No feelings. No complications. Easy.

Except my body never got the memo it’s pretending.
Finn, the grumpy firefighter who can’t fake a feeling to save his life.
Hudson, the easy-grinning charmer who keeps making it all too convincing.
Logan, the sweet carpenter who fell first and built a room in his house for a someday he never let himself hope for.

This was supposed to end when the reunion did. But the closer it gets, the harder it is to remember which parts were ever pretend.
I told one lie to survive one weekend. Turns out I accidentally built the realest thing in my life.

A cozy, why choose, steamy small-town omegaverse romance: fake dating, grumpy-sunshine banter, a grumpy firefighter, a golden-retriever charmer, a cinnamon-roll carpenter, and a pack that forgets to stay fake. Standalone with heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA.
