Best friends who are secretly in love with their best friends shouldn't fake date each other...right?It’s bad enough to get dumped by a guy you don’t even like, and it’s worse when he’s the literal poster boy for your company, but there’s no humiliation quite so strong as finding out that same man is now your boss... moreBest friends who are secretly in love with their best friends shouldn't fake date each other...right?It’s bad enough to get dumped by a guy you don’t even like, and it’s worse when he’s the literal poster boy for your company, but there’s no humiliation quite so strong as finding out that same man is now your boss. The only person I can share my embarrassment with is my friend and coworker Lachlan Mills—the same man whose charming grin has starred in all my fantasies of the last year and whose ability to make me laugh is the secret reason it was never going to work out with my ex. Not that I’d tell Locke. Despite the fact that he makes my mouth water and that he’s got this incredible way of making me feel seen, our friendship is too important to me to mess things up. But when Locke offers to be my plus one at company events this winter to help me save face, it’s only fair I return the favor. Suddenly we’re doing Thanksgiving with the family and exchanging gifts—and kisses—that make my heart explode like a Christmas cracker. I can’t be held responsible for any acts committed under the influence of holiday punch, but it’s getting harder and harder to know what’s real and what’s fake. If I can’t get my heart in line, I might lose it, but I also can’t afford to lose Locke. Can we survive the season with our friendship—and our hearts—intact?The Fake Date Agreement is a light, fun friends-to-lovers, fake relationship romance packed with laughter, swooning, holiday shenanigans, and a cranberry sauce fiasco. It can be read as a standalone, and comes with a guaranteed HEA. less
