Love You, Mean It by Jilly Gagnon

Ellie Greco left her small hometown of Milborough for the bright lights of New York to pursue her dream of costume design but five years before, when her father died, she returned home to temporarily run the family deli... and has been stuck there since. Greco's deli is the only place left that makes her feel closer to her dad and when a big foodie department store threatens to come to town and put her business at risk, she's determined to do whatever it takes to squash the deal.

Theo Taylor is in charge of the sale of the building for his father's real estate business. He has plans of his own for this building and agrees to meet with Ellie, but before they can even discuss things he gets hit in the head in a freak accident and wakes up in the hospital with amnesia and Ellie claiming to be his fiance. When his memories come back though, he decides this fake engagement could be just the thing to put his own plans in place. Can they convincingly pull it off without catching real feelings?

There was plenty of judgement from both sides to cause drama and tension over money and class, plus the ex who just seems like a better fit and wants another try with Theo. I like all the funny banter and sexual tension between the two that they try so hard to deny. They both learned a hard life lesson through their heartbreak and eventually found a hopeful HEA. I thought this was a sweet opposites attract, enemies to lovers romance with just enough spice.
