The Deal Maker

by Samantha Brentmoor Louise Bay

4.3

Lucy Jones is tired of living in her sister’s shadow. As the "other sister" always falling short of her mother’s high expectations, Lucy views her role as maid of honor as the perfect opportunity for a grand personal rebrand. She is determined to prove she is polished, sophisticated, and entirely in control—until she meets the best man. Hunter Bain is the human embodiment of a scowl. A career-focused business bro who considers wedding planning a chore, he is everything Lucy finds aggravating. Their forced collaboration on the bachelor and bachelorette festivities quickly devolves into a series of chaotic clashes. However, when an impulsive lie forces them to pretend they are a couple, the dynamic shifts. Utilizing the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, this fake-dating arrangement is meant to be a temporary solution to keep the peace. Yet, behind the sharp banter and feigned affection, genuine sparks fly. As they navigate drunken disasters and shared secrets, they both begin to confront their own family traumas and insecurities. Lucy and Hunter soon discover that the only thing harder than faking a romance is denying the reality of their growing connection in this witty, high-tension, and heartfelt romantic comedy.

The best deal

Image 80: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars The best deal This book is the real deal! The chemistry between Lucy and Hunter is apparent in their animosity but when they both begin to really “see” each other , the emotions bring it to a whole new level. Both have to come to terms with disappointment in a parent and step out of the shadow of that trauma. Witty banter, tender moments and spice hit in all the right places as Lucy finds love and acceptance as she learns that her worth is not defined by the opinion of her mother. The happy ending makes this a five star deal.

See all formats and editions When the maid of honor and the best man fabricate a romance to keep the peace, the only thing they can’t fake are the sparks. Lucy Jones is tired of being the “other sister.” Elizabeth is the golden child—beautiful, serene, and engaged to the perfect man. Lucy? She’s thirty, single, and still dodging her mother’s digs about how she never quite measures up. But when Elizabeth names Lucy as her maid of honor, she vows her sister’s wedding will be her grand rebrand. She’ll prove she’s polished, sophisticated, and totally in control. Enter Hunter Bain. Best man. Business bro. Walking scowl emoji. Also the rudest, most aggravating man Lucy has ever met—and her new partner in planning the joint bachelor/bachelorette weekend. Fantastic. Because nothing says “reinvent yourself” like clashing with a man who thinks party planning is beneath him. From drunken disasters to shenanigans on Martha’s Vineyard, Lucy and Hunter can’t stop butting heads. Until one impulsive lie forces them to pretend they’re dating. It’s supposed to be temporary. It’s supposed to be fake. But every lingering glance, every stolen kiss, every unexpected laugh makes it harder to remember what’s real and what’s not. Full of sharp banter, slow-burn tension, and laugh-out-loud chaos, The Deal Maker is a swoony enemies-to-lovers rom-com about messy families, fake relationships, and finding love when you least expect it. ) ©2026 by Louise Bay.
