✨EXCERPT
“Aw.” Cara had hearts in her eyes. “So? Who is he?”
I was back in the car, stuck on the train tracks with Locomotive Cara bearing down on me. “Oh. Um . . . you wouldn’t know him.”
I ran some fresh water to clean the dirty glasses I’d picked up earlier. Tenor broke from Jason and chatted with another customer, leaning down instead of towering over the guy. Gah. My boss was so considerate.
Cara put her elbow on the bar top and rested her face in her hand. “Try me.”
I scrubbed at an imaginary smudge on a glass. “He’s not from Bozeman.” I tried for an apologetic smile.
Brock’s eyes narrowed on the way I was frantically washing the same clean glass. “It’s a small world. Who is he?” My ex's tone was cajoling. He thought he had me.
Dang, he did have me.
This wasn’t fair. He was the one who’d brought his fiancée, my former best friend, into the place where he’d known there was a possibility of seeing me. I would not admit I was single. I would not give him the satisfaction of knowing he was right. I would not give him even an inkling that my social life had gotten even less thrilling than when we’d been together.
Tenor came around the bar. “Hey, Ruby. How’s it going tonight?”
His deep voice washed over me, but it only fueled my determination. “Hi, Tenor.”
Cara’s gaze turned awestruck as she took him in. “Tenor?” She giggled. “What kind of name is that? It’s so . . . unique.”
The way her voice pitched up scraped against my patience, warning me what would come next. A hidden insult. A snide remark. My pulse pounded at my temples. I might lose my job for this, but it was either that or jump the counter, knock her to the floor, and slap my hands over her mouth.
“Isn’t it a great name?” I slid an arm around Tenor’s waist. He stiffened, a hard wall of muscle. “Also, meet my plus-one. Tenor’s my boyfriend.”
Oh god, oh god, oh god. What had I done?
Why you need to #ONECLICK this book…
💕Small Town
🔥Fake Dating
💕Boss/Employee
🔥Age Gap Romance
When my former best friend invites me to her wedding—to my ex-boyfriend—I panic and blurt out that I have a plus-one. Worse, I say it’s my boss. And he hears every word.
Tenor Bailey is one of the owners of Copper Summit, the bourbon distillery where I work. Let’s just say announcing we’re “dating” isn’t the kind of thing that earns employee-of-the-year honors. But to my surprise, Tenor agrees to play along. Now we’re selling our very fake relationship to this tight-knit small town—and trying not to blur the lines in the process.
Fake dating Tenor comes with unexpected perks: home-cooked meals from his mama, picture-perfect picnics, and sleepovers—in his guest room. Except for that one time I had too much bourbon and ended up in his bed. Oops.
The more time we spend together, the more I wish this wasn’t all pretend. But Tenor’s been hurt before, and he’s convinced love isn’t in the cards for him. By the time our bourbon summer ends, I’m afraid my very real feelings will leave me with a broken heart.
