It’s my mother’s wedding coming up, and the only thing worse than the bridesmaid dress I’m expected to wear is knowing that my ex is going to be there. Two years ago, he asked me to marry him, and I hightailed it the hell out of there. Now, he will either: 1) still be hung up on me, or 2) he’ll have a gorgeous woman on his arm. I can’t decide which is worse. Either way, it’s going to be hella awkward. I know exactly what I need… a fake date—someone to make me look like I’m not a total failure at love. My sister’s best friend is the perfect candidate. Panty-melting gorgeous, smart, and single—and it just so happens that he’s already on the guest list.

With the right incentive, he’ll see this little game can benefit both of us. No strings attached, of course. Because lust is all fun and games until someone falls in love.

If only she hadn’t asked him to help her marry someone else... Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he’s faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future—and his heart. *One of Oprah Magazine's Best Historical Romances to Read*
