Fix Her Up

Georgette Castle’ s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and no one has taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’ s over it. Georgie loves planning children’ s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’ s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World . . . whatever that means.
PHASE ONE: A new framework for her business (A website from this decade?)
PHASE TWO: A gut reno on her wardrobe (FYI, leggings are pants.)
PHASE THREE: Updates to her exterior (Do people still wax?)
PHASE FOUR: Put herself on the market (And stop crushing on Travis Ford!)
Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’ t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’ s asking out the town clown for a night of hot sex, that’ s for sure. Maybe if people think she’ s having a steamy love affair, they’ ll acknowledge she’ s not just the “ little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite.
Travis Ford was major league baseball’ s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’ s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’ t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his . . . bat. And then there’ s Georgie, his best friend’ s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme— that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job— he agrees. What’ s the harm? It’ s not like it’ s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman, and there’ s nothing fake about how much he wants her.
