Proposal They Can't Refuse
Kamilah Vega wants nothing more than to modernize her family's Puerto Rican restaurant and save it from Chicago's gentrifying neighborhood, but her blackmailing abuelo won't allow any changes unless she marries his best friend's grandson — a man she can't stand. Liam Kane has spent a decade building his family's distillery into a national contender, only for his dying grandfather to demand he marry before it's too late. Trapped by the same ultimatum, Kamilah and Liam fake an engagement to outmaneuver their grandfathers, only to find their plan pulling them into far messier, far more genuine territory.
Natalie Caña opens the Vega Family Love Stories with a fake-engagement rom-com set against Chicago's food and spirits scenes, driven by two meddling, dying grandfathers determined to see their grandchildren married.
