A Silver Lake Instalove Romance - The Boyfriend I Borrowed #989886

Mara Bellamy has exactly three problems.

Her ex is getting engaged.

Her best friend has decided she needs a fake boyfriend.

And the ridiculously handsome man Mara chooses for the job has absolutely no intention of keeping things fake.

Nico Vale was supposed to be temporary.

A borrowed boyfriend.

One weekend. A few convincing smiles. Maybe one strategically timed kiss.

Simple.

Except Nico doesn't do casual.

The brooding motorcycle restorer agrees to play Mara's perfect boyfriend at the Silver Lake Summer Swap, but from the moment his hand settles possessively around her waist, something changes. His kisses feel far too real. His protective streak is impossible to ignore. And the way he looks at her makes Mara wonder whether she's finally found the man she's been waiting for—or simply created the biggest romantic disaster of her life.

Then their fake relationship starts attracting very real attention.

Suddenly, Nico is walking her home, meeting her friends, stealing her coffee, and making plans that definitely weren't part of their agreement.

Mara borrowed a boyfriend to make someone jealous.

She never expected him to steal her heart.

And Nico?

He never planned to give her back.
