Alyssa Owens is used to getting talked into things by her lookalike cousin, but pretending to be her so she doesn’t have to break a date is ridiculous. Reluctantly, she agrees to the scheme—spend twenty minutes with the guy, wear sunglasses to maintain the ruse, make sure he believes she’s interested so her cousin can have him back when she returns to town after New Year’s, then make an excuse to leave.

At least, that was the plan. The plan stinks. He’s as hot as advertised, easy to talk to, funny, and sweet. It’s been way more than twenty minutes.

It doesn’t take Wes Fielding long to figure out that this isn’t the same girl he met at a speed dating event. After all, as a cop, he’s trained to study faces. But if this isn’t her, what is she up to?

He should be mad, but he can’t bring himself to call her out on it. Not yet. He’ll just investigate and see where this goes. But now he’s the one lying, finding excuses to hang out, meeting her family, and absolutely flirting with disaster.

Curl up with this sweet Christmas romance about mistaken identity and unexpected chemistry.
