Pretend You’re Mine

Pretend You’re Mine by Lucy Score is a contemporary small-town romance and the first book in the Benevolence series. It centers on Luke Garrison, a brooding National Guard member preparing for deployment, and Harper, a woman who arrives in town at a low point in her life. What begins as a convenient arrangement turns into a fake relationship meant to ease pressure from Luke’s family and keep emotional distance firmly in place.

The premise blends romantic tension with a more emotional undercurrent than the setup might first suggest. Set in a close-knit small-town environment, the story leans into forced proximity, family scrutiny, and the uneasy pull between safety and vulnerability. Readers can expect a character-driven romance with warmth, intensity, and a slow shift from pretense to something more real, as both Luke and Harper are pushed to confront what they want and what they are trying to leave behind.
