Smith, Madelyn – Loving Our Collision

August 28, 2025 · In: 19th

If Holly marries her brother’s best friend it’ll solve her problems. Unless she makes new ones by falling for Mateo, knowing their relationship has an end date.

Holly:

Being the sister of a famous movie star has its downsides. The current one: a date who is harassing me and threatening to ruin my brother’s career. When he backs me into a corner, it feels like the only solution I have is to lie and say I’m engaged to my brother’s best friend.

Are there some issues here? Yes, seeing as Mateo lives in a different state, manages his family’s farm, and is way too good and sweet to marry someone with so much baggage. But when I call him and say I need a husband for the next year, he actually agrees. Next thing I know we’re meeting up at the courthouse to say our “I do’s”.

My one rule: don’t fall for him because our relationship has an end date.

Mateo:

I love my family, but after fending off one too many disaster dates from my meddling parents and the townsfolk, I need space. So when Holly calls, asking me to pose as her fake but technically real husband, I readily agree. My quick acceptance might have to do with having a crush on her since we first met.

How we’re going to make this work when we come from two very different worlds and two different states? I have no idea. But with every passing day, I know I want her to be my future. It’s just a super simple matter of making my wife fall in love with me.

It can’t be hard to bring our two worlds together. Or can it?
