Best Friends In Love: A Steamy Fake Marriage Friends-to-Lovers Romance

by Harper Langley

He needs a wife to keep the bookstore. She’s the only one he’s ever wanted.We made a pact in college.
If we were still single at thirty, we’d marry each other.

I never thought we’d actually have to follow through. But when Ethan inherits his grandmother’s bookstore—with one impossible condition, that he must be married to keep it—our ridiculous old promise suddenly feels very real.

To everyone else, it’s simple. We’ve been inseparable for years, so why not tie the knot and save the store? On paper, it’s perfect. In reality, it’s terrifying.

Because Ethan isn’t just my best friend. He’s the one person I can’t lose. And the second I slip on his ring, every touch, every kiss, every whispered vow feels dangerously real.

I wanted to protect him, to protect us. But the more we pretend, the more I realize the my best friend may be the only man I’ll ever love.

cute story

I liked this book & adored the story, there were just some parts that I had to make myself keep reading instead of feeling like I couldn’t put the book down.
