Scoring a Fake Fiancee (Mr. Match #2)

TRACE:  

My twin sister found love using the dating site everyone in San Diego is talking about — Mr. Match. And now that she’s happily coupled, she thinks I should look for my match. 

The thing is? I’m pretty sure I don’t have one. I’ve got soccer. And maybe that’s all I really need — it’s definitely the only thing I’ve ever really been able to depend on, besides Erica. 

I signed up. But what I got was not what I expected. 

I did not expect to feel so much for a woman I’d only just met. And I definitely didn’t expect to find myself agreeing to pretend to be her fiancé. 

The question is, if this is all pretend, why does it feel so real?

MAGALIE:

When I moved to San Diego from France, I thought that would be enough to convince my mother I was committed to living my own life. But when she announced she was coming to visit, and bringing Henri — the man she wanted me to marry — I panicked. 

Maybe using a site designed to match you with your soulmate wasn’t the right way to find someone to convince my mother I was engaged. Maybe convincing my mother I was engaged wasn’t the right way to get out of the arranged marriage she was trying to force on me.

And maybe there’s a lot more to my fake fiancé Trace Johnson than he’s willing to show the world. 

I wish I didn’t want so badly to find out what’s beneath his bravado (and his shirt).
