He’s all crisp shirts and color-coded calendars. She’s chaos in heels. What could possibly go right between them?
Susanne Morelli has a teaching job she loves, a gang of amazing (if slightly unhinged) friends, and a lifetime supply of wine thanks to her family’s vineyard. The only dark cloud is her mother’s relentless campaign to marry her off—and now Mamma Morelli wants Sue back with her cheating ex-fiancé.
Cameron Jones likes things neat, quiet, and commitment-free. His software company is his world; dating is just background noise ever since his ex wrecked his trust. His new neighbor, Sue, wreaks havoc on his routines—in a good way. All sunshine, sass, and bunny slippers, she’s everything he never expected to need.
When a surprise visit from Sue’s parents and an ambush from Cam’s ex push them into a fake engagement, pretending to be in love seems like the perfect plan. Until it feels they’ve stopped faking it.
Between a meddling mother, scheming exes, and an imaginary relationship that’s getting dangerously real, Sue has two choices: finally grow a backbone… or let everyone else decide her happily ever after.

About the Singleville series:
A sparkling romantic comedy series full of sass, sisterhood, and second chances.
Welcome to Singleville—a cheeky nickname for life in New York City’s dating jungle—where five fiercely loyal friends navigate the chaos of careers, crushes, and complicated pasts with humor, heart, and the occasional cocktail. Whether it’s a botched blind date, a double take at the hunk next door, or a fake engagement that starts feeling all too real, these women are learning that love doesn’t always arrive on schedule—but it usually shows up when you’re in your bathrobe.
Singleville is about finding love in the city, finding your tribe, and learning that sometimes the best relationships start with a little bit of faking it.
Things We Fake is book one in the Singleville series.
