Synopsis:
It
wasn’t shy librarian Lola McBride's idea to crash someone else’s high school
reunion. Her best friend made her do it, insisting that having a little fun
with a super-hot rebound would make her forget about her recent breakup. That’s
when she meets the hottest guy she’s ever seen.
Architect
Luke Erickson had no idea attending his ten-year reunion would turn out to be
so fun. He catches the sexy brunette in a lie, and he counters with a
proposal—He’ll keep her secret if she helps get his family off his back by pretending
to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family reunion.
From
one reunion to another, Lola and Luke are suddenly spending a lot of time
together. Good thing they're only pretending, or this super-secret relationship
could get really complicated.

“If you’re not
Kelli Martindale, who exactly are you? And why lie?”
Then the whole
story came tumbling out.
“The thing is, my
boyfriend broke up with me last week, and I’ve been kinda bummed about it. So
my roommate had this crazy, stupid idea. She thought I should have some fun by
coming here and crashing the reunion.”
Luke blinked. “You
didn’t graduate with me?”
“No, not
technically.”
“Are you even a
librarian?”
“Yes, that’s one
hundred percent true. Oh God, are you going to tell?”
“Depends. I have
one more question for you.” He’d made his voice as serious as he could. “What’s
your real name?”
Her shoulders dropped
in relief. “Lola. Lola McBride.”
“Anything else I
should know?”
“I’m twenty-six. I
don’t usually do things like this.” She took a deep breath. “I’m clean, neat,
and I can bake a pretty good chocolate cake. I say I’m going to a body pump
class at the gym sometimes, but really, I go to Target and buy a bunch of
useless stuff from the dollar bins.”
“I love to read.
My favorite book is Wuthering Heights, although I read every genre of
fiction. Especially romance novels.” She blushed. “I mean, not the super dirty
ones.” A wrinkle formed on her forehead. “Okay, I read the super dirty ones
too. I love them. Don’t judge me. But I also donate to the local animal
shelter. And I’m afraid of colonial people. I’m totally boring, really.”
Luke didn’t have
the answers to the universe but he did know that boring was something that Lola
McBride wasn’t.
“You must think
I’m insane.”
Quite the
opposite. He hadn’t met many women like her, and he was curious as hell. He was
about to say so when his phone started vibrating again. He saw another text
message.
This one was from
his sister, Gwen. Mom said you are bringing a date to our reunion. True?
False?
False. I’m not
bringing anyone.
Oh well. I have
this friend I’d love to fix you up with….
“Sorry. It’s my
crazy family.”
It was
official—his family was driving him mad. Why couldn’t they just back off? It
was bad enough that he was going to have to go to his family reunion next
weekend, but to have this kind of pressure about a date…
That’s when an
idea started to form. He eyed Lola. She was clutching her basket of Jane Austen
books against her chest, looking nervous. Did she really think he cared that
she’d lied and crashed his high school reunion? He actually thought it was
pretty funny.
“I’m really sorry
I lied to you,” she said. She glanced down at the basket. “I know I’m taking
this basket away from someone who actually went to school here and…”
“Here’s the deal,
Lola,” he said, interrupting her. “I won’t reveal your identity tonight. You
can keep your Jane Austen basket and no one will be the wiser.”
She blew out a
sigh of relief. “Really? Ohmigod, you’re amazing.”
“But you have to
do me a favor in return.”
“Anything.”
He flipped his
phone over in his hands. “Come to my family reunion next weekend and be my
pretend girlfriend.”
