A Perfect Beginning

by Marcella Robinson from the January 6, 2025 issue

Tagline: Looking to evade her family's matchmaking scheme, Elaine enlists a friend as a faux date that leads to real feelings on New Year's Eve.

Observations: This was a cute fake boyfriend story and it just goes to show you/me that you can take romance novel tropes and apply them to a Woman's World story! Fake relationships are all the rage in full length romances, and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more of them in the pages of the magazine we all want to publish with.

Favorite line: Seriously, no man should ever look that good in flannel.
