'How did you two meet?' 
 
It's the question I dread. 
 
Because my (not so) meet cute was unexpected to say the least. I was in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me on as their bride, you know, as you do. 
 
He was striding around the block, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong. 
 
That's when we bumped into each other . . . And there were no sparks. Not even a hint of blossoming love. 
 
But next thing I knew, he'd convinced me to pretend to be his girlfriend so he could get his deal back on track. Suddenly, I find myself living in a mansion, enjoying swanky business lunches, and pretending we're head over heels in love . . . 
 
My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE . . . 
 
I might accidentally be falling for Huxley Cane.

Don't let that cute cover fool you- this is SMOKIN' HOT, with sexual tension dripping from every page. I was HOOKED from the start, and I devoured it at an alarming rate, even for one of Quinn's rom cons. And this IS a rom com, albeit a very tense and steamy one

Top freaking notch!! I totally have a new favorite MQ book. This story was so laugh out loud hilarious, my kids kept asking what was so funny! The sexual tension between Hux and Lottie was fan my face fantastic. These two take the saying there's a thin line between love and hate to the max. I cannot recommend this book enough

I loved this book. It was without a doubt, the funniest book I've ever read

'How did you two meet?' 
The question I dread. 
My not so meet cute was... unexpected. I was casually searching Beverly Hills for someone to make me their bride. 
That's when we bumped into each other, him mumbling about a business deal gone wrong. 
There were no sparks. 
But next thing I knew, I'd agreed to pretend to be his girlfriend and that we were head over heels in love, so his deal could get back on track. 
My one mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE . . . 
Am I accidentally falling for Huxley Cane?

Am I in love with JP Cane? 
Ha! He certainly thinks so . . . 
 
He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and having watched When Harry Met Sally is convinced that men and women can't just be friends. 
 
So when we have to fly to San Francisco for work and stay in the same penthouse, I'm happy to prove him wrong. 
 
Yet with his continuous flirting and his polished good looks, I'm soon finding it hard to sleep at night. 
But guess who can control herself? This girl. 
 
Because if there is one thing I know for certain, it's that JP Cane is wrong. 
 
Men and women CAN just be friends and we are SO not meant to be . . . 
_______ 
 
Full of simmering sexual tension, how long will Kelsey and JP Cane resist the chemistry between them?
