BLURB:
Noah is Griffin Colewater’s best friend and absolutely
no one knows him better. Certainly not any of the parade of girlfriends he’s
had over the years. Even his most recent, Lauren, whom he has been with the
longest.
And just broke up with.
Does it make Noah a terrible friend if he’s just a little
bit thrilled about that?
It doesn’t really matter, though. Griffin is the
oldest son of the owners of Colewater Properties, a multi-gazillion
dollar hotel conglomerate. He is also next in line to take over when his father
retires which makes Griffin the most sought-after bachelor in the city. So,
another girl is right around the corner.
The issue? Griffin’s mother claims to be desperately
tired of his playboy antics. She is demanding Griffin settle down with a wife
and family “or else”. Being that Griffin has never actually been able to please
his mother in anything, Noah doesn’t understand Griffin’s hopeless mission to
make that happen now.
Which makes the huge charity bash his parents are
throwing a bit problematic. His mother is insisting on meeting Lauren. Yep. Griffin
has yet to tell her he’s single again. And he insists he’s not going to.
Instead, Griffin does something insane. He hires a fake girlfriend. Yah.
A fake Lauren. Well ― not fake. She’s a ‘Lauren’, too. But that’s not the
point. Griffin asked Noah to provide the “girlfriend for months” knowledge
to Lauren number two so she could pull this whole ‘girlfriend’ thing off.
Honestly. What can go wrong with that?
Pretty much everything.
Because Griffin is not only Noah’s very best friend in
all the world, Noah is also so crazy in love with the man, he hurts. A
stupid stunt like this could reveal that very thing and freak Griffin’s parents
out so badly, he’s sure they will gift Noah with cement boots and personally pitch
him off the pier themselves. But the bigger problem in Noah’s mind? Griffin is
totally not gay and if he ever found out Noah’s true feelings?
Damn.
Griffin would more than likely be the one mixing the
cement.
