Tease (Cloverleigh Farms Next Generation)

I didn’t mean to say I was engaged to a hot billionaire–it just slipped out.<br/><br/>In my defense, I’d had a really bad haircut, a really strong drink, and I was trying to save face in front of the Mean Girl at my high school reunion.<br/><br/>Lucky for me, I happen to know a hot billionaire. Hutton French and I have been friends forever, and even though big social gatherings are not his thing, I called him from the coat closet and begged him for a favor–show up and play my fake fiancé for the night.<br/><br/>Except that word of our engagement spreads like wildfire. Our families are ecstatic. We’re front page news. My little food blog is launched into the stratosphere.<br/><br/>Of course, I offer to set the record straight right away, but Hutton wants to give it a little time–the phony engagement will keep his matrimony-mad mother and every matchmaking granny in town off his back.<br/><br/>He even suggests I move in with him to make the ruse more real.<br/><br/>And we don’t stop there.<br/><br/>We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder.<br/><br/>Could Hutton French and I actually be right for each other, or is it all just one big tease?
