Love ad Lib
Evie Alexander · Foxbrooke #1
Broke actress takes a fake-girlfriend gig for a grumpy lord — one bed, one weekend, zero chill.
Description
Libby Fletcher’s life is a dumpster fire. No boyfriend, no roof over her head, and her acting career in tatters – Libby’s life is falling apart at the seams. So when grumpy Lord Henry Foxbrooke offers her the role of ‘fake girlfriend’ for his thirtieth birthday celebrations, she jumps at the chance.One weekend in the country, pretending to adore a ridiculously handsome, uptight heir? Easy, right?Wrong. Foxbrooke Manor is a real-life Downton Abbey on steroids, Henry’s matchmaking family is way too involved, and there’s only one bed... As their chemistry skyrockets and the situation goes wildly off-script, Libby’s struggling to separate what’s fake from what’s... not.Love ad Lib is a multi-award-winning, laugh-out-loud, steamy romantic comedy packed with fake-dating chaos, swoony one-bed tension, and sparkling banter. No cliffhanger, no cheating – just pure romcom gold with the grandest of gestures and the happiest of endings!
