(11k)Steamy

She's been crushing on her celebrity best friend for years — until a tabloid declares her his secret fiancée.

Description

I fell in love with Carter James Callahan’s smart-mouthed smirk long before it was labeled “The Sexiest Smile In Hollywood”. I also fell for his broad, muscular shoulders, his impossibly blue eyes, his... Nope! Not going there anymore. Because while Carter may frequent my dreams every night, I will only ever frequent his friend zone. Which is why I’m on an official mission to rid myself of my pesky feelings for him—I’m gonna put myself out there, start dating, and stop hopelessly crushing on my best friend. Deep down, I know this is for the best. It would never work between I’m a single mom with an impressive collection of stained sweatpants, he’s a serial-dating celeb heartthrob who never wants to be tied down to anything or anyone. So when the media breaks a story that Carter is getting married, nobody is more shocked than I am. Especially when I click on the article and see that his mysterious fiancée is... me?!
