Breadcrumbs: A Fake Dating Novella
Alicia Wilder, author
Max isn’t ready to give up on her ex — can she get him back by conspiring to fake a relationship with a one-night-stand?
Career-driven Max Linney has finally gotten her life exactly where she wants it: a demanding-yet-meaningful job as a congressional staffer and a one-bedroom apartment in Washington, D.C., with her boyfriend. So when he dumps her, she’s not only surprised, she isn’t ready to let him go.
Easygoing digital nomad Micah Abrams wants his judgy and demanding family off his back. When he meets Max on a dating app and flies her to his temporary home for a strings-free date, sparks fly but so does a spontaneous solution for both of them: they’ll pretend to date each other long-distance to make her ex jealous, and Max will be Micah’s date for his sister’s wedding.
As Max starts to realize her ex only gives her breadcrumbs for love, Micah learns no matter how many cities he travels to, he can’t run away from his grief over his father’s death. But with Micah focused on the past and Max on a future with somebody else, can they ever be together somewhere in between?
