The Knockoff Girlfriend

Book excerpt: Spice up your dreams with the latest issue of All Faked Up Bedtime Stories. Romantic stories sure to encourage the dreams you desire. In Issue #Three, Theo and Kaira take this friends-to-lovers romance to a whole new level. Theo I have one chance to pitch my book to the biggest movie producer in Hollywood. I expected it to happen in his office, not on a couples' cruise. No problem. I have a friend—and I use that term loosely—who owes me a favor. Bet Kaira never thought this was how I would collect. Kaira When Theo calls, I figure he wants me to read his latest manuscript, not to be his fake girlfriend. I’ve written this story several times so I know how it’s supposed to turn out. But this is different. It’s strictly business and a happily-ever-after never enters my mind. Even the thought is laughable.
