She's his bestie. He's her rock. And now? They're accidentally engaged.

Juniper runs the village apothecary, and Granik grows lavender on his farm. These two plant lovers have always had each other's backs.

When orcish custom demands Granik get married, Juniper does the only logical thing to save her best friend: she proposes a fake engagement. Brilliant plan, right? The only trouble is that in orcish customs, engagements are binding and there's no such thing as fake.

Now they have to find their way out of a major mess. That proves harder than anticipated when Granik's family comes to celebrate the spring Greening festival. Juniper and Granik must convince everyone they're madly in love. But the longer they pretend to be a couple, the harder it becomes to remember why they were faking it in the first place.
