The Fiancé Dilemma by Elena Armas — Clean Rom‑Com Paperback (432 pages)

The Fiancé Dilemma by Elena Armas is a perfectly messy, heartwarming rom-com that captures the awkward magic of pretend love turning real. Josie Moore has had four engagements end in disaster—and a fifth would almost be routine, until Matthew Flanagan’s muddy arrival turns everything upside down. Mistaken identity leads to a fake engagement in Green Oak, and Matthew—honest to a fault and stuck with no other options—plays the part admirably, much to Josie’s irritation and everyone else’s amusement 

Packed with small-town charm, quirky characters, and sizzling slow-burn romance, this novel explores the hilarious chaos—and unexpected tenderness—of two people pretending to plan a life together. Josie’s complicated family history, including an absentee father who’s finally resurfaced in the public eye, adds emotional stakes to the comedic setup. Matthew’s resilient kindness and reluctant heroism make him more than just a placeholder fiancé—he becomes someone Josie didn’t know she needed
