Seeds of Betrayal: A fake dating, new adult college romance
Lola Lockhart
She kissed her brother's best friend and now owes community service — with him. Fake dating was supposed to be safe.
Description
College has rules. I broke three in one night. Don’t trespass in a university building. Don’t kiss your brother’s best friend. And definitely don’t get caught doing both at the same time. Now, thanks to a very inconvenient security camera, I owe sixty hours of community service… with Alfie Spencer, the brooding, infuriating, unfairly hot geology nerd I’ve secretly wanted for years. And just when I think things can’t get worse? He asks me to pretend to be his girlfriend to keep his powerful, impossibly rich family off his back. The arrangement is simple: Fake a relationship to fool his parents. Sell it like our lives depend on it. Absolutely do not fall for him. But every time he looks at me, I feel it everywhere. Every time he touches me, I forget we’re pretending. Because this was never supposed to feel real. Because Alfie Spencer doesn’t do love. Because when this ends… I’m not sure I’ll survive it. Book 2 in the University of Mountain Springs series – but can be read as a standalone. Perfect for readers who love: Brother’s best friend tension College romance Fake dating with real feelings Grumpy x Sunshine (but he’s secretly obsessed with her) Slow-burn spice, stolen glances, and too much heat A hot, angsty college romance about fake dating, forbidden tension, and the boy who was never supposed to be mine. If you love delicious slow-burn, heartbreakingly soft moments, and the kind of love story that starts with a felony—this one’s for you.
