The Engagement

Minna Johansson has spent months surrounded by love at Serenity Shores resort—blissful couples, tropical sunsets, and blooming gardens—but it only deepens the ache of her own solitude. At twenty-eight, she’s content with her cats and her role keeping the resort running smoothly, until a chance conversation with Aiden Drakos, the quiet, rugged landscaper, stirs something unexpected. What begins as a fleeting spark ignites into a daring plan: a fake engagement to fend off his overbearing family’s matchmaking schemes.

Aiden’s life has been dictated by wealth and expectation, but all he wants is the freedom to tend his gardens and live on his terms. When his mother arrives with yet another “perfect” debutante in tow, he enlists Minna to pose as his fiancée—a ruse to buy him peace. It’s supposed to be simple: a few days of pretending, a convincing act, and they’ll part ways unscathed. But as they weave their tale of romance under the island’s golden skies, the line between fiction and feeling blurs. Stolen glances turn to lingering touches, and the charade starts to feel dangerously real.

With Aiden’s formidable mother watching their every move and a storm of emotions brewing, Minna and Aiden must decide if their tangled lie can unravel into truth. Will they risk their hearts for a love neither saw coming, or will the façade crumble under the weight of reality? Set against the lush backdrop of a tropical paradise, The Engagement is a swoon-worthy tale of deception, desire, and the courage to claim a happily-ever-after worth fighting for.
