Best Fake Fiancé

Daniel Loveless and Charlotte McManus—aka Charlie—have been best friends since forever. Together, they’ve made it through everything from middle school dances to Daniel finding out he had a daughter, and they’re still thick as thieves. Faking an engagement, though? That’s… a lot. When single dad Daniel shows up at a routine court appearance only to learn his newly-married ex is filing for custody and plans to take his 7-year old daughter out of state with her, he panics.  His daughter—precocious, opinionated, blackmailing Rusty—is his life.  So he tells the judge he’s also engaged, to the one person he can always count on—Charlie. His chaotic, charming, impulsive, platonic best friend, Charlie. If anyone’s going to believe they’re together, they’re going to need to act like it: going on dates. Holding hands. Being cute in public. And… kissing. A lot of kissing, actually, because once they start it’s nearly impossible to stop. How did Daniel never notice how soft Charlie’s lips are? How well her carpenter’s coveralls fit? How her wild, curly hair is perfect for sinking his fingers into? Except that Charlie’s as irresponsible as she is pretty, and Daniel needs someone who he can count on to help corral his daughter, or at least someone who knows what day of the week it is. Friendship is fine, but anything more serious? It might be too risky. Best Fake Fiancé is the second book in the Loveless Brothers series, and can be read as a total standalone. It's for fans of high-heat, low-angst romantic comedies and anyone who loves a single dad who gets fake engaged. This one's got tons of sibling banter, a big family, an adorable kid who never gives her dad a break, all the friends-to-lovers swoon you can handle, and a small town where everyone knows everything. It's steamy, hilarious, and it's got an HEA. (And yes, it bangs.)
