‘She’s never fallen quite like this.’

Maisie Moss never expected that at twenty-nine, she’d be exchanging her busy London life to move in with her eccentric grandmother, even temporarily. Despite the charm of this quiet seaside town, Maisie’s social life screeches to a halt and she quickly finds herself homesick. But when an intervention thrusts her into joining grandma Vera’s hiking group of quirky retirees, one clumsy misstep lands her falling into the arms of a gruff, rugged local. Being drawn to the mountain man wasn’t in Maisie’s plans, but we can’t help who we fall for, can we?

After a turbulent two years restarting his life, Iain Howell now keeps to himself, preferring the solace of the Welsh hills and the company of his mischievous dog to the world around him. Stuck in a stagnant job with a wounded heart, Iain craves a new adventure but doesn’t know where to start. Falling in love again is certainly off of the cards, yet something about Maisie’s vibrant company might just be the lost key to warming up his locked away heart.

When their elderly friends begin to meddle in their dreary love lives, the polar opposite pair concoct a plan of their own to fake a romance and avoid the nosy ways of Vera and her allies. Though between awkward hikes, glamping mishaps, and unexpected set-ups, how long can ‘pretend’ truly last?
