The Roommate Lie

Nice girls should never end up with a guy like me. Not even when it’s fake.

But Alice Kilpatrick doesn’t have a choice. When the boyfriend she traveled here to visit breaks up with her in front of me—leaving her stranded in my small hometown—I jump in before she can stop me.

Pretending to be her old friend from summer camp probably wasn’t the best idea. Or telling her ex she was planning to stay with me—not him—all along.

But I’m not really known for my good choices.

When I find out she’s a romance author with an epic case of writer’s block, I offer to let her stay at my place until she finishes her book. Then I offer to help make her ex jealous…

My reputation in Ponderosa Falls is a lot better than it used to be, but small towns have long memories. Most people aren’t thrilled about my new sweet-as-pie roommate. Especially when we start looking way too cozy.

Not that I care. A little town-wide disapproval has never bothered me. It’s the feelings I’m catching—the ones I thought I could avoid—that are the real problem.

And everyone in town knows it.

The Roommate Lie is a closed-door romantic comedy with sizzling chemistry and swoony kisses but no explicit content. This reformed bad boy story can be read as a standalone or as part of the Fake Love Lists series.
