Unlikely Friends. An undeniable attraction.
In retrospect, saying Max and I are dating was probably a panic move. But when my younger sister announced her engagement, I knew my parents were going to crank up the pressure cooker to see me settle down.
Having been friends since childhood, I knew he would go along with it. Still, us being polar opposites was going to make our fake relationship a hard sell. Who would believe a tatted-up bar owner would fall for a straight-laced math teacher?
The plan was simple. Fake dating through all the wedding festivities, then stage a break-up.
It seemed we were going to pull it off without a hitch... until the chemistry between us began to feel all too real.
For the sake of our friendship, I want to pull away. But I how do I ignore the magnetic pull I feel to him? Or how my thoughts betray me by whispering he makes me happier than I ever dreamed possible?
