Tease by Melanie Harlow

 I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.

 

TEASE, an all new steamy fake engagement, small town romantic comedy from USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!

 

I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.

 

In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.

 

Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called



him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.

 

Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic. We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.

 

Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.

 

He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.

 

And we don’t stop there.

 

We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.

 

Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?
