Tease

Felicity, a food blogger, arrives at her high school reunion with a bad haircut, a strong drink in hand and a former rival to impress. Under that pressure she announces that she is engaged to a wealthy man. There is no such man.

To cover the lie, she phones her longtime friend Hutton French. He is a billionaire who avoids big social events, and she asks him to pose as her fiancé.

The story spreads quickly. Her family is delighted, her blog gains readers and she turns up in the local news. Felicity means to come clean, but Hutton prefers to keep going. A fiancée would stop his matchmaking mother and the town's grandmothers from pressing him, so he proposes that she move into his home.

In this small-town friends-to-lovers romantic comedy, the third book in the Cloverleigh Farms Next Generation series, the rehearsals for their act turn physical. Felicity begins to ask whether the two of them could genuinely suit each other, or whether she is only playing a game.
