The Next Best Fling


In this hilariously spicy romance, a librarian and an ex-NFL player fake a relationship to get over their first loves.

"Funny, smart, and spicy!" --Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me

Librarian Marcela Ortiz has been secretly in love with her best friend for years--and when he gets engaged, she knows it's long past time to move on. But before she gets the chance, she has a bigger problem to contend with in the form of Theo Young, ex-NFL player and older brother of the man she's in love with.

When she discovers Theo's plans to confess his feelings for his brother's fiancée at their engagement party, Marcela is quick to stop him--despite how tempting it is to let him run away with the bride-to-be. She convinces Theo to sleep off his drunken almost-mistake at her place--and the next day, everyone assumes they hooked up. Since they both need a cover, they decide to roll with the lie.

Until one late night at a bar, they take it a step further and discover a layer of attraction neither realized existed. Soon, they find themselves exploring the simmering chemistry between them. Their rebound is working ... maybe a little too well.
