I Love You, And

Jude Lamarra has made a pact. She will not, under any circumstances, hook up with a man again. Okay, maybe not never again. But, like, at least not for a few months.She's ready to focus on something more fulfilling: her business. Perpetually single Jude learnt a long time ago that the world isn't built for people to thrive on their own, so she's taking matters into her own hands by launching a community hub centred around solo activities.Meanwhile, when an older friend from book club ropes her into fake-dating her son for an event, Jude is happy to go along with it, because, hey, it's not real, so it doesn't break her pact. The problem? The son in question turns out to be none other than the quiet, awkward man who ghosted Jude after a one-night stand two years ago.As tensions rise and old feelings come to the fore, can Jude's self-imposed pact possibly hold? And what does it mean for someone whose built a brand championing the single life to be starting to feel not just desire, but something even stronger?...
