There’s no such thing as love at first sight… but it’s just as well—lust is way more fun. It’s my mother’s wedding coming up, and the only thing worse than the bridesmaid dress I’m expected to wear is knowing that my ex is going to be there. Two years ago, he asked me to marry him, and I hightailed it the hell out of there. Now, he will either: 1) still be hung up on me, or 2) he’ll have a gorgeous woman on his arm. I can’t decide which is worse. Either way, it’s going to be hella awkward. I know exactly what I need… a fake date—someone to make me look like I’m not a total failure at love. My sister’s best friend is the perfect candidate. Panty-melting gorgeous, smart, and single—and it just so happens that he’s already on the guest list. Whether or not he’ll agree to play pretend is another matter altogether. We have history, but he wasn’t interested in the kind of fun I had to offer. Maybe this time will be different. With the right incentive, he’ll see this little game can benefit both of us. No strings attached, of course. Because lust is all fun and games until someone falls in love.

One date. One wedding. One enormous lie. Ivy If Susan wasn't so uptight, none of this would be a problem. It wouldn't. Not really. As it is, she's the biggest Bridezilla I've ever seen, which is why I'm stuck interviewing actors to play my boyfriend at her upcoming nuptials. The guy I choose is tall, hot as hell, and...nerdy. Like, ultra-nerdy. He plays video games and reads comics, and he's seen more anime than me, which is no easy task. Lincoln has a secret, though. It's something beyond the normal nerdiness. It's something that he doesn't want anyone to know about. I want to know about it, though. What is this guy hiding? And why do I have a feeling that it'll change everything? Lincoln When I started running my fake date service, I didn't expect to meet someone like Ivy. I didn't expect to want more than just a single date. I couldn't have possibly planned any of this. That's exactly what's happening, though. Just one date, and my inner-tiger lets me know that yeah, she's our mate. Unfortunately for me, she doesn't know I'm a tiger shifter, and she doesn't know I think she's my one true love. Is Ivy strong enough to handle the truth? Am I? The Tiger's Fake Date is book three in the SHIFTERS OF RAWR COUNTY series; however, it can be enjoyed as a standalone story. It features a snarky human heroine and a tiger who doesn't believe he's good enough for love. Expect spicy scenes and a happily-ever-after. Trigger warning: pet loss.
