Cheeky Royalby Nana Malone

I have to focus on freeing myself… but she’s all I see.

I never wanted the throne. I just wanted a normal life. Free to do what I want. Who I want.

Luckily, I discovered a secret–and a loophole. Turns out I have a long-lost brother. All I have to do is track him down and make him the prince. A kingdom is what everyone secretly wishes they had instead of a job, right? Everyone but me.

The clock is ticking, and the last thing I have time for is cleaning up behind my sexy, accident-prone new neighbor. She’s everything I don’t want but can’t seem to stop thinking about. The fact that she’s spoken for shouldn’t make me so furious.

She can be my friend, but nothing more.

I can’t touch her. Can’t kiss her. Can’t fantasize about all the things I could do with her. To her.

And most of all, I can’t let her find out who I am.

But his moorings are shaken loose when Nico, a charming and gorgeous new waiter, appears.

However, the interfering adventurer Lord Ockley is determined to have Nico all to himself. When he can’t, he threatens to expose Nico and Henri’s relationship, risking not only the destruction of their careers and reputations, but possibly even worse.

Tease by Melanie Harlow

I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.

In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.

Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.

Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic. We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.

Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.

He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.

And we don’t stop there.

We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.

Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?
