The Best Friend Bargain: When a Lie Leads to Love by Sofia Rodriguez
The Best Friend Bargain : When a Lie Leads to Love
One humiliating encounter with her ex. One spectacular lie. And one best friend who unexpectedly plays along.

Struggling artist Lia Hart is used to messy canvases, not messy emotions. But when her ex flaunts his new engagement at a crowded gallery, her only defense is a desperate, impulsive she’s also engaged. The only problem? Her supposed fiancé, the charming bartender Noah Carter, has no idea.

Noah has always been Lia’s anchor, the one person she can count on for anything—except commitment. So when he overhears her lie and steps in to play the doting fiancé, she's both saved and terrified. He agrees to the charade, complete with a convincing backstory and a set of strict, friendship-saving rules. The most important rule? No real feelings allowed.

But their performance is a little too convincing. Fake touches start to feel real, and staged kisses ignite sparks they can’t ignore. As they navigate suspicious friends, jealous exes, and a disastrous wedding weekend that shatters all their rules, the line between their act and their hearts begins to disappear.

If you love witty banter, the irresistible pull of the best friends-to-lovers trope, and the delicious tension of a fake relationship romance, you’ll be captivated by Lia and Noah's story.

When the curtain falls on their charade, will they risk the most important friendship they have for a shot at something real?
