  Ryleigh Donovan has been unsuccessfully dodging her mother’s matchmaking attempts for far too long. In an act of desperation, she finds the one guy in her small town who is guaranteed to shock everyone to be her fake boyfriend. It doesn’t need to be for long—she just needs to buy herself enough time to recover from her mother’s last disastrous fix-up. It’s really a fool-proof plan. But when a few staged kisses lead to some very real feelings, she realizes she might be in over her head. Ryker Masella has been patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to get Ryleigh to take him—and his numerous attempts at asking her out—seriously. When she grabs him and kisses him in front of her family to prove a point, he’s more than on board. But when she proposes a fake—and temporary—relationship, he’s 100% on board. After all, she might be all about pretending, but he sees it as a way for Ryleigh to truly see the real him. Fake flirting and orchestrated dates quickly bring on real feelings. For Ryker, they’ve always been there, and he’ll be as patient as he needs to be. She might have asked him to save her from her family, but what he wants is to save her from herself. Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone.

  The Lonely God - A Short Story

  Agatha Christie

  In the quiet halls of the British Museum, a forgotten stone idol sits unnoticed on a high shelf—its features eroded by time, its purpose long-lost. But for Frank Oliver, a lonely man recently returned to England, the little god becomes something more: a symbol of connection in a world that has passed him by. 
  When Frank notices a young woman visiting the same statue, day after day, something begins to shift. In their quiet devotion to a nameless figure, two strangers begin to find the possibility of something else—companionship, perhaps even love. 
  Agatha Christie’s The Lonely God is a tender and thoughtful departure from her usual crime stories. In this short tale, she explores isolation, identity, and unexpected human connection with quiet grace. 
  Perfect for fans of classic literature, character-driven stories, and emotional fiction with a hint of mystery.

This volume offers readers a rich introduction to Hawthorne's literary artistry, showcasing his ability to blend imagination, symbolism, and moral reflection within concise yet powerful narratives.
  
  The stories in Little Masterpieces span a range of moods and themes, from quiet domestic scenes to tales infused with allegory and gentle fantasy.

Each piece, though brief, is carefully constructed to leave a lasting impression, revealing deeper truths beneath simple events and familiar settings.
  
  Written in Hawthorne's elegant and thoughtful prose, these works exemplify the author's belief that short fiction can be as profound and emotionally resonant as a full-length novel.

The collection is equally well suited for students, educators, and lovers of classic American literature.
  
  Timeless in its themes and refined in its execution, Little Masterpieces stands as a testament to Nathaniel Hawthorne's enduring influence on the short story form and his ability to capture the complexities of the human spirit in even the smallest of literary gems.
