GRR Reviews Faking It by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde

Hailey is buying a property to take her matchmaking biz to the next level, and her real estate agent, Max Sterling, is a perfect gentleman, and a hunk. However, Hailey was wearing an engagement ring, so Max kept his distance, despite how lovely Hailey is. But when Hailey and Max ran into one of Hailey's client's mom, things got a bit weird... It seems Hailey had claimed her fiancee is none other than Max himself... and Max will gladly play along to save the "damsel in distress", as it is clear she's not really engaged... and he can use some help to fend off a young woman who's way too interested in him despite repeated attempts to distance himself. A very public engagement should be perfect for both of their needs... It'd only be fake... right? Until it wasn't... and everything changed...

Now this "fake engagement" makes great sense. I've seen the "matchmaker with no BF" and "wearing a ring to fend off suitors but falls for a guy" plot, but this is a good twist by combining many of those plot elements into one.
