Not Another Love Story Books in Order

Surgeon Clay hires a pretend girlfriend to improve his reputation before a promotion, while unemployed Leigh needs a way to rebuild her life. A joking advertisement brings them together under a temporary contract that neither expects to lead to love.

Clay and Leigh’s pretend relationship impresses his superiors, but intimacy makes their temporary agreement harder to maintain. His possessive former fling and an invitation to her ex’s engagement party complicate their attempt to keep growing feelings separate from the arrangement.

Exposure of Clay and Leigh’s hired-girlfriend arrangement threatens their growing relationship just before his anticipated promotion. As gossip and a former fling cast doubt on their future, they must decide whether a romance built on pretense can become something lasting.
