Best friends to lovers, fake dating heat, and a light love triangle that’s really just one man’s very clever plan—witty, warm contemporary romance with swoony chemistry and a heroine who’s about to realize the best man for her has been there all along.
He’s been friend-zoned. So naturally, he convinces her to date someone else.
Every morning, a gorgeous mystery man jogs past Jacqueline Butler’s office window, tempting her to break her no-dating rule. She’s perfectly happy ogling him from afar — until her best friend-slash-colleague Vince Carson suggests she do more than stare.
Vince knows his best friend Jackie better than she knows herself. The last thing she needs is a date with a pompous, swole jackass. But after being friend-zoned in a big way, he can’t exactly ask her out himself. Nudging her toward a guy who is all muscle and no substance will not only get Jackie off the bench — it will open her eyes to the fact that Vince is the right man for her.
So Vince takes Jackie on practice dates, promising to help her hone her skills. He can’t resist edging the fake romance toward reality. After a ridiculously epic kiss, Jackie sees a side of Vince she’s never noticed before.
Suddenly, anything is possible.
Perfect for Readers Who Love:
– Witty and warm with a swoony slow burn
