Kara Connelly needs a date for her high school reunion. Landon Blake needs one for his best friend’s wedding. The solution? A fake relationship—two events, a couple of weeks, and then they’ll go their separate ways. No strings, no complications.
But between stolen glances and late-night conversations, the lines start to blur. And when the deal is over, Kara and Landon are left with one question neither of them is ready to answer: what if fake dating wasn’t fake at all?
Worth Staying For is part of the Worth It series, but can be read as a standalone novel.
