Give Me A Minute: A Small Town Fake Dating Romance

Description

Peyton Dating my friend’s brother is not ideal. Fake dating him is perhaps the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve spent the last year thinking Theo Porter hated me. His brooding blue eyes, constant glares and aloofness whenever we’ve been in the same room were reason enough for me to believe it. And after his time as a combat medic in the military, who could blame him for being reserved? If there’s one thing my remaining family taught me, it’s that I’m not an easy person to like, or even love. After my mom’s death, my dad spent the rest of my childhood making himself a new family, with me as the leftovers from his previous life. When my dad tells me I’m expected to attend my step brother’s wedding, I’m desperate for someone to go with. However, I don’t want to subject any of my friends to my father’s belittling, so I accept that I’ll go alone. Until Theo unexpectedly offers to play a convenient part. Theo I’m determined to prove to Peyton that she’s deserving of love, and I’ll do anything to help her realize it. Even offer myself up to play the part of her fake boyfriend to help her with her awful family. After watching her from afar for a year, I’m intrigued by everything about her, so I don’t hesitate at the opportunity to play the part of her fake boyfriend. With her beautiful blue eyes, blonde hair, and curves, I’m all too willing. She’s put up walls that make her hard to read, and even harder to reassure her that she isn’t an inconvenience; far from it. I can’t help the way I’m drawn to her and immediately yearning for something more. Author’s Note: Give Me A Minute deals with subjects that may be triggering to some, including flashbacks of combat, a scene that depicts the death of a parent by breast cancer, bullying from a step sibling, and feelings of disapproval from a parent/stepparent. There is also a brief mention of an infant death, however it is not shown on page. Please only continue if you feel that you are able to read this book. The last thing I want to do is inadvertently harm someone. Welcome back to Cinder Valley! While this book is considered a standalone, it is the third in an interconnected series, and it is highly recommended to read books one and two, Tip Of My Tongue , and How Do I Tell You? first. —- ISBN: 9798858172017
