Truth or Bare: an irresistibly feel-good (and steamy!) friends to lovers contemporary romance

“So we’re okay?” she asked, barely audible.
His arms settled around her again, solid and certain.
“We’re more than okay,” he said. “We’re us. Just… upgraded.”

What happens when the one person who’s never looked at you twice… suddenly can’t look away?

Emma Grace has spent years perfecting the art of looking flawless.

Early alarms for the full contour routine. Push-up bras engineered by NASA. A wardrobe of dresses cut to promise cleavage that… technically doesn’t exist.

So when a top London modelling scout slips her a card (lingerie catalogues, big money, even bigger exposure), Emma’s stomach flips. The pay could change everything… but the idea of her uni mates passing around photos of her barely-there curves makes her want to die of shame.

Enter shaggy-haired, permanently sarcastic best friend and professional taker-of-the-piss.

He’s the only guy who treats Emma like an actual human instead of a china doll. He mocks her endless outfit changes, steals chips off her plate, and once told her she looked like a “posh vampire” when she overdid the winged eyeliner. In other words, he’s safe. Completely, gloriously platonic.

Until the afternoon Emma decides she needs an honest opinion.

Just one tiny, mortifying favour.

From the one boy she trusts never to fancy her.

What starts as a ridiculous, wine-fuelled dare in her bedroom turns into the most awkward, electric, heart-in-throat moment of both their lives. Because when Emma lifts her top and Callum finally—finally—sees her, something shifts. The teasing stops. The air thickens.

And two best friends who swore they were immune to each other discover that “just friends” has an expiry date.

Funny, tender, and deliciously slow-burn, Truth or Bare is a love letter to messy hair, honest bodies, and the terrifying joy of being wanted exactly as you are (insecurities and all).

Standalone. Steamy in all the right places. Swoony HEA guaranteed.
