Worst Faking Idea

Their secret fake relationship began with a little white lie... Nora My ginger beer brewery is, quite literally, my life. Unfortunately, I'm about to lose it. My male business partner's new fiancée is insanely jealous, and it's only a matter of time before she forces him to quit. So I ask him what it'll take for her to back down. A boyfriend. I make one up, telling her it's too early to introduce him, which works up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother. She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason I've been keeping my boyfriend secret is because it's him. I should definitely set her straight. Cormac is the last person I'd ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. I've known him since high school, and he's awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant. But I'm desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever. Cormac Nora begs me to be her secret fake boyfriend-an act that only has to work on two people. Any sane man would refuse, but I've promised my father to make peace with her. So I present her with an offer: dog sit my corgi for a weekend, and I'll be the fake boyfriend of your dreams. She accepts quickly, because she's never met my dog. There's only one problem: I had a huge crush on Nora in high school, and the more time we spend together, the more I realize it never went away. **A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series.**
