Almost Real (Almost Ever After)

Lena Joly is a vet tech devoted to healing animals at her struggling clinic. When Brady Pruitt, Seattle's notorious bad boy billionaire, arrives with a lost puppy, she wants nothing to do with him. But Brady has other plans: he needs her to pose as his fiancée to convince his image-conscious parents that he's become respectable. Lena is reluctant to accept a fake engagement, even for the substantial payment that would help save her clinic. As they spend time together and their shared love of animals draws them closer, the line between pretense and reality blurs. What began as a temporary arrangement becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from genuine feeling, forcing both of them to confront emotions they've long kept guarded.
