Learn moreSometimes what starts out as fake can get all too real.
Things started out innocently enough. Put on the spot by my sister about going on a blind date, I mention I'm already dating someone else. But then she wants to meet him. Better yet, she wants me to bring him to our upcoming family gathering so he can meet everyone. Which would be a fantastic idea if he wasn't a complete work of fiction.
My best friend, Julian, suggests I bring a fake date, and it sounds like a good plan. What could go wrong? We'll go home, spend the weekend with my family, and they'll stop setting me up on blind dates. No one gets hurt and no one has to know. Easy peasy, right?
But then there's Jackson. And it's no coincidence that his last name is Sparks.
Maybe one day I'll learn that listening to Julian is always a recipe for disaster. Someday I'll remember that he talks faster than he thinks, and any idea out of his mouth is probably a bad one. Until then, let me explain how I got into this mess. My name is Avery Jane, and I'm about to show you what happens when a fake relationship gets all too real.
S. E. Harmon has had a lifelong love affair with writing. It's been both wonderful and rocky (they've divorced several times), but they always manage to come back together. She's a native Floridian with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Fine Arts, and used to spend her time writing educational grants. She now splits her days between voraciously reading romance novels and hiding away someplace to write them. Her current beta reader is a nosy American Eskimo who begrudgingly accepts payment in the form of dog biscuits.
Marnye Young is a SOVAS and AudioFile Earphones Award-winning narrator for New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling authors and has recorded hundreds of audiobooks. A SAG-AFTRA voice, stage, and screen actor and David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University MFA Grad, she has spent her life in the North and the South. Having performed across the globe and known for her affinity for dialects, she has also been praised for her impeccable comic timing as well as her ability to make you cry. When she isn't narrating, she's acting, coaching, directing, fishing, watching NASCAR, raising chickens, doing crossword puzzles, "mom"ing her identical twin daughters, and trying to pay it forward.
