Description

Kamilah Vega has a vision for her family's beloved Puerto Rican restaurant. With their Chicago neighborhood rapidly changing, she's determined to modernize the business and earn a coveted spot on the city's Fall Foodie Tour. There's just one obstacle standing in her way—her stubborn grandfather, who refuses to approve any changes unless she agrees to marry the grandson of his lifelong best friend.

Liam Kane has poured years into rebuilding his family's whiskey distillery, only to be blindsided when his grandfather reveals two life-changing truths: he's battling cancer, and his final wish is to see Liam happily married. Conveniently, he already has the perfect bride in mind—Kamilah.

Faced with losing the building that houses both of their family businesses, Kamilah and Liam reluctantly strike a deal to fake an engagement until their scheming grandfathers back down. But as pretend dates, family celebrations, and undeniable chemistry blur the lines between what's real and what's for show, the pair begin to wonder if the greatest surprise isn't the engagement—but the possibility of forever.

Packed with humor, heart, family chaos, and mouthwatering food, A Proposal They Can't Refuse is a charming romance about honoring your roots while finding the courage to follow your heart.
