Play Along, Sweetheart by Award Winning Author Nancy Pirri<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

New York, NY – September 10, 2026 <\/strong>Award-winning romance author Nancy Pirri<\/strong> invites readers to fall in love with her newest contemporary romance, Play Along, Sweetheart<\/em><\/strong>, a heartfelt novel where one impulsive request at an airport turns into an unforgettable Thanksgiving, and perhaps the beginning of forever.<\/p>\n

What begins as a simple favor quickly becomes something neither Maggie O’Hara nor Dr. Nick Capra ever expected.<\/p>\n

Chicago social worker Maggie O’Hara has just returned from Korea with the greatest gift of her life, her newly adopted baby daughter. As she waits for her family to arrive at the Minneapolis airport, panic sets in. Knowing her traditional family may not approve of her becoming a single mother, Maggie makes a split-second decision. She asks a complete stranger to pretend to be her fiancé for Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

That stranger is Dr. Nick Capra.<\/p>\n

A lifelong bachelor, Nick agrees to help, believing he’ll simply play a role for a few days. Instead, he quickly realizes Maggie is unlike anyone he’s ever met. What starts as an act soon begins to feel remarkably real, and Nick finds himself wanting the engagement to become permanent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the holiday unfolds, laughter, family gatherings, and growing affection blur the line between fiction and reality. But while Maggie has fallen in love with Nick, she’s carrying a deeply personal secret that threatens everything they’ve begun to build together. When the truth finally comes to light, both must decide whether love is strong enough to overcome the past and create the future they’ve both been searching for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Filled with warmth, humor, family dynamics, and heartfelt romance, Play Along, Sweetheart<\/em><\/strong> explores themes of unconditional love, chosen family, trust, and taking chances when life offers unexpected happiness. Fans of fake engagement romances, emotional contemporary love stories, and holiday romance will find themselves cheering for Maggie and Nick from the very first page.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Their relationship is fake. Their chemistry is not.”<\/p>\n
