Description

Reese Witherspoon, Oprah and Roxane Gay LOVE her! Readers love her! Have you discovered New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club pick Jasmine Guillory yet? 'The queen of contemporary romance' OprahMag.com 'She writes the sexiest and smartest romances' Red Magazine 'Just as essential to a good summer holiday as SPF' Grazia A feel-good romance to warm your heart! A groomsman and his last-minute guest are about to discover if a fake date can go the distance. 'A sweet, funny, realistic, grown up . . . romantic tale' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Love love loved this book!!!

Love wasn't part of the deal . . .

On the eve of his ex's wedding festivities, Drew Nichols is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend . . .

Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is not something Alexa Monroe would normally do. But Drew's proposal proves hard to resist.

After their wedding date turns into a whole weekend of fun in San Francisco, Drew and Alexa return to their all-consuming careers - his in LA and hers in Berkeley. Too bad they can't stop thinking about each other . . .

It could be the long-distance dating disaster of the century - or Drew and Alexa could be just a flight away from what each of them truly wants.
