What to expect
The utterly laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers romantic comedy from Laura Carter
A high-flying investor
New Yorker Jake Harrington loves a lot of things about living in London: his lucrative hedge fund job, the way British women melt at the sound of an American accent, being thousands of miles away from the girl who betrayed him. And, oh yes, his just-sex arrangement with his gorgeous roommate, Jess.
His sexy British flatmate
Jess's deal with Jake suits her fine. No commitments, no risk of being hurt again, just fun and friendship. And friends do each other favors, like agreeing to go on a trip to New York where Jake will have to face his past.
And a vacation that will change everything...
What friends shouldn't do? Suddenly find themselves feeling something much more complicated than simple lust. When "no strings" is no longer enough, will Jake be willing to take the ultimate gamble?
A sweet and sexy friends-to-lovers fake-dating rom com, perfect for fans of Carrie Elks and Elena Armas.
