Love Wins

What could possibly go wrong with taking your secret admirer to a family reunion?
Dory needed a fake boyfriend. Bodi needed Dory to notice he existed.
Dorothy Lennox has spent her entire life being too much.
Too loud. Too pink. Too curvy. Too stubborn. Too determined to fit into anyone else's idea of who she should be.
She built Pink Match with her best friends. Helped thousands of people find their soulmates.
Everyone except herself.
Now she's facing her worst nightmare-a ten-day family reunion celebrating her parents' fiftieth anniversary. Ten days trapped with relatives who never miss an opportunity to remind her she's still single.
Dory needs a date.
A convincing date.
A date so spectacular her family will finally stop asking when she's going to settle down.
Enter Bodi Howard.
Former NFL linebacker. Security specialist. Giant teddy bear.
The kind of man who turns heads when he walks into a room.
The kind of man who says yes when Dory proposes a fake relationship.
The kind of man who's been secretly in love with her for two years.
Bodi has watched Dory organize everyone else's happily-ever-after while convincing herself she doesn't deserve one of her own. She's brilliant, funny, beautiful, and completely oblivious to the fact that he's been falling harder every day.
So when she asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend for ten days? He's all in.
Ten days of holding her hand.
Ten days of sharing meals.
Ten days of dancing, flirting, and sleeping in rooms that just happen to have one bed.
Ten days to prove that what they're pretending to have is the one thing he's wanted all along.
Because Bodi isn't interested in fake dating. He's playing for keeps.
The matchmaking expert never saw love coming. The linebacker did.
Tropes: Fake dating; he falls first; years of secret pining; plus-size heroine; golden retriever hero; forced proximity; one bed; protective hero; soulmate matchmaking app; found family; small-town romance; family reunion chaos; everyone knows he's in love with her except her; guaranteed happily ever after.
