The Fake Date by Trisha Bradley

There’s no such thing as love at first sight… but it’s just as well—lust is way more fun.
It’s my mother’s wedding coming up, and the only thing worse than the bridesmaid dress I’m expected to wear is knowing that my ex is going to be there. Two years ago, he asked me to marry him, and I hightailed it the hell out of there. Now, he will either: 1) still be hung up on me, or 2) he’ll have a gorgeous woman on his arm. I can’t decide which is worse. Either way, it’s going to be hella awkward.
I know exactly what I need… a fake date—someone to make me look like I’m not a total failure at love.
My sister’s best friend is the perfect candidate. Panty-melting gorgeous, smart, and single—and it just so happens that he’s already on the guest list. Whether or not he’ll agree to play pretend is another matter altogether. We have history, but he wasn’t interested in the kind of fun I had to offer.
Maybe this time will be different. With the right incentive, he’ll see this little game can benefit both of us. No strings attached, of course.
Because lust is all fun and games until someone falls in love.
