Writing a spicy romance novel with your best guy friend isn’t a problem.
Picturing him as you write the steamy scenes … now that could get complicated.
Tobias Banks is a bestselling romance author and my best friend. He’s smart, brilliant, and kind-hearted. He has never shown an interest in settling down, and he’s the one constant in my life I know I can depend on for anything.
So it shouldn’t surprise me that as soon as my personal life shatters, he’s there, picking up the pieces and reminding me who I am.
In a matter of days, we are back to our lively banter. I’m living in his spare room, and now, he’s helping me achieve my lifelong dream of writing a romance novel.
Life feels good again, free … except I’m not looking at him as the friend whom I used to pull all-night study sessions with during college. Nope, I’m looking at him as the man who walks into the kitchen each morning shirtless, smirks when I say something he likes to hear, wears shirts that hug his arms a lot tighter than I remember, and looks at me as if I’m his next meal.
Falling for my best friend isn’t smart. I can’t lose him, but if I’ve learned anything since we set out on this journey together, it’s that love doesn’t make the rules; we do.
And we only get one chance to do it right.

Writing romance and not actually being in love is tough. Especially when someone calls you out on it. In hindsight, I shouldn't have dwelled on it, but Lovers Magazine is the it magazine for romance writers. They’ll make or break a career with one review, and me? Well, I wasn’t going down without a fight. I’ll do anything to ensure I stay at the top. Not to mention author of the year is up for grabs.
I want that title, and as I said, I’ll do anything to get it.
Including spending the next two weeks traveling and working with a woman who despises me, dating a handful of strangers who are selected simply by replying to a survey and letting said woman who doesn’t care for me post the status of those dates online for the entire world to see on my social media accounts.
Did I really believe I’d find love over the two-week span of my book tour?
No.
Did I learn that I can write dozens of romance novels and still know nothing about love?
Yep.
Turns out, love isn’t always fair, not even after you’ve found the right one.
