Welcome to Chestnut Springs: the big-hitting, small-town series from TikTok sensation Elsie Silver. Perfect for fans of Devney Perry, Lucy Score and B.K. Borison.

Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past. I'm the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks. He's thirty-five and all man, I'm twenty-two and all ....

. . virgin.

He's also my fiance. Correction: my fake fiance. We start out as a bet.

He doesn't believe that anyone holds my last name against me. So he offers me his to prove a point. It's a win-win.

He gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and I get a chance to shed my family's reputation while I save up to ditch this small town. He says all I have to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend I can't keep my hands off of him in public. But it's what happens between us in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines .

. . It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all .

. . This engagement was supposed to be for show.

This agreement? It has an end date. He once told me he'd never fall in love. And yet here I am, head over heels for my fake fiance.
