AustLit

'ASHTON
'I’d lived my new life for six years, part of this whole family thing. And I supposed it wasn’t so bad. But with a legacy of sweeping love stories to live up to, my aunt and uncles are a total pain in the arse about me finding my true love. My solution? Get me a fake girlfriend.
I wasn’t the hero sort, but Lexi makes me want to be better. She makes the idea of living up to my aunts’ and uncles’ expectations far sweeter.
It doesn’t have to be pretend.

'LEXI
'My life had changed eight years ago when my family had fallen apart. But I supposed it wasn’t so bad. My brother and I survived. I was his legal guardian now and had no time for romance. But being a hot guy’s fake girlfriend for a while could be a good distraction.
I never wanted a hero – I was more than prepared to take care of myself – but he’s got the makings of the sort of partner I wouldn’t mind keeping around.
Too bad it’s all just pretend.'  (Publication summary)
