She needs a fake boyfriend, and he\u2019s all in… until pretending feels a little too real.<\/p>\n
COLT
\nI\u2019m the last single Hayes brother, and after a near-death experience, I want what my brothers have: a family.<\/p>\n
Then a girl I just met asks me to play her boyfriend for a week.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy\u2026 until it\u2019s not. What started as a favor blooms into feelings I can\u2019t shake.<\/p>\n
And everything would be perfect if only we weren\u2019t chasing different dreams.<\/p>\n
AUDREY
\nA woman\u2019s value is her engagement ring. At least according to my mother.<\/p>\n
She chose my future husband when I was sixteen\u2026 but I don\u2019t want him, so when my brother\u2019s engagement cruise becomes a setup, I lie. I tell her I have a boyfriend.<\/p>\n
The problem? I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Enter Colt Hayes, my unexpected hero who agrees to play along.<\/p>\n
But as fake touches blur into real feelings, I wonder if he feels it too.<\/p>\n
