A simple favor becomes something far more complicated in The Pick Up, where two single parents discover that pretending to be in love is much harder than they expected. Sophie Rogers has mastered the art of keeping life steady for her daughter, her family, and her demanding job. Romance is the one thing she never makes time for.
Then Joe, the charming dad from school with the easy smile and Irish lilt, proposes a fake relationship to get them both out of a tight spot. Their staged photos and synchronized calendars begin as harmless collaboration, but every shared moment pulls Sophie closer to feelings she insists she doesn’t want.
As sparks blur the lines between real and pretend, Sophie must confront what she truly desires. With strong Amazon and Goodreads ratings, this warm rom com delivers humor, heart, and irresistible slow burn chemistry.
