Romantic short stories - After years of building a peaceful life as a devoted single father, James Wilcox has accepted that romance isn’t meant for him—until his CEO, Madaline Cross, asks him to pose as her boyfriend at a friend’s wedding to help her navigate the emotional landmines of her manipulative ex‑fiancé. What begins as an awkwardly charming favor turns unexpectedly real as the two spend a weekend navigating dances, chaos, family antics, and the surprising comfort they find in each other’s presence. Back home, James struggles with fear and vulnerability, pulling away before realizing what he almost lost. With gentle nudges from his children, a runaway cat, and a heartfelt conversation, he and Maddy finally confront their feelings and choose something honest and steady—together.
