The Absolute Worst Fake Fiancé

She's living a life that has no room for a man. Maggie Weston is a single mom who is always tired, always busy, and always trying to avoid her mother's phone calls. Her stress is at an all time high after she and her eight-year-old move to a "good" town with "good" schools that she can barely afford. He's living a life that has no room for a woman. Augustus "Bugs" Sloane is an entomologist who is trying eradicate disease and death. He might look like a player, but his brain is 100% nerd and his social skills are 95% awkward as he focuses on all things mosquitos. But then they're forced to make room for each other. When Maggie finds herself having to come up with a fake fiancé she made up to keep her mother off her back, she reluctantly agrees to be matched to Augustus Sloane. (A match that may or may not come with a very slight brush of magic.) The Absolute Worst Fake Fiancé takes Maggie, her Smurf-loving daughter Roxie, and their absentminded "Bugs" Sloane through a year of Mother's Day brunches, sorority glamping trips, electricity-killing blizzards, and class reunion shenanigans. Through it all, Maggie and Bugs take three steps forward and two steps back as they reluctantly start to like each other even if they will never admit they need each other. This is a complete, stand-alone story, based on the year in the life of Maggie and Bugs (and of course Roxie!). This title first was published as a series of stories and then as a compilation of those stories under the Bad Mom Rents a Mother's Day; Bad Mom Rents a Glampfest; Bad Mom Rents a Snowed In; and Bad Mom Rents a The Complete Zany Story.
