When Kendall wakes up from a night of drinking with a note pinned to her shirt, the last thing she guesses is that it was put there by a gorgeous guy who desperately wanted to see her again. Why would she? She was nerdy, more than a little awkward, and had never even kissed a guy. And it wasn’t like she had come to university to date. She had big plans. She was going to help people who were going through difficult times and she was going to be the best in the world at it.

A girl asks her best friend to pretend to be her fiancé and falls for him hard. That wasn’t Louise’s plan. Her plan was to prove that everything her parents ever said about her was wrong. And since that included that no one would ever love her, when the hottest guy ever asked her to marry him after two dates, she said yes. Lou’s plan might have worked if the hot guy didn’t ghost her after she told her parents to expect him at their next family get-together. So, what choice did she have but to instead ask her way too sexy best friend to pretend to be her fiancé?

I don’t know what it is about Cage Rucker that makes my wolf howl. Yeah, he has a body that’s been chiseled from marble, and a smile that melts my heart, but it’s more than that. There’s something about the way he smells. My wolf knows. Does that mean that this boy is going to fall all over himself to find out? No way. Cage has a girlfriend. I don’t fall for straight boy… anymore. I wouldn’t even have talked to him again if he hadn’t offered me an exchange I couldn’t refuse.

How did I end up almost 300,000 dollars in debt? It wasn’t as hard as it sounds. I went to Columbia and studied anthropology. The perfect background to get a great job. Right? Okay. It was a stupid choice. As it turns out, one of several. So, I ended up answering phones at a third-rate magazine. In New Jersey.
