So, here's the thing-I never planned on fake dating anyone, especially not Dex Maguire.Sweet Scoops is my world. It's my family's legacy, and I promised myself I'd protect it at all costs. But now, Dex, the former hockey star, shows up with plans to open a sports bar right next door. The town thinks the best way to keep things peaceful is for us to pretend to date. Yeah, you heard that right. Pretend. To. Date.At first, I thought, okay, this will be simple. Just a few staged photos, a little hand-holding, and we're done. Easy, right? Well, that's what I thought. What nobody tells you is how quickly fake feelings can turn real.And Dex? He's not the guy I expected. I had him all wrong-thought he was just some cocky athlete, only here to ruin everything I've worked for. But the more time we spend together, the more I see the real Dex. The guy who's funny, caring, and way too easy to fall for. The worst part? He's starting to look at me like I'm more than just the girl from the ice cream shop.

Or do I walk away and focus on protecting the one thing I swore I'd never lose?If you're into small-town romance, fake dating that turns into something more, and a love story sweeter than ice cream, you're going to want to read That Summer We Pretended.
