Holland Finding out my boyfriend was sleeping with my best friend wasn’t on my bingo card. Finding that out at The Lizard in front of a pub filled with half the people from campus? That felt like a slap to the face. Add midterms looming a few months later with suddenly no place to live and a run in with the happy couple…and maybe my reaction wasn’t exactly rational. But then a stranger stepped in to save the day. Why was that a problem? Oh, only because he’s not a stranger at all. He’s the same guy my meddlesome aunt set me up with on a blind date. He’s also older, and an infuriatingly handsome NFL bad boy to boot. But, when he stepped in to help, it was hard to resist his offer. And that’s how my fake dating situation began. Or so I thought it was fake. Sammy I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend at The Lizard when one fell into my lap…literally. Lucky for me, she was easily the most attractive girl I’d ever laid eyes on—a gorgeous mess with fire in her eyes who needed my help, and apparently, I’m a sucker for playing knight in shining armor. However, commitment just isn’t my thing. But fake dating sounded fun. So, I offered her a place to stay. I’m not a guy that catches feelings, so I thought I was safe from her aunt’s meddlesome attempts. How wrong I was. Now, I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise when what started out fake turns real, and my friends refuse to believe I’m actually in a relationship.
