Description

A pretend boyfriend becomes much more than make-believe in this reader-favorite Westmoreland novel from New York Times bestselling author Brenda Jackson!

Super focused on her career, pediatrics resident Trinity Matthews is at her wits’ end trying to ward off the unwanted advances of a colleague. But when she confides in her sister, Tara, they come up with a plan. Tara will get one of her husband’s cousins to pretend to be Trinity’s boyfriend to get the doctor to back off. Adrian Westmoreland is recruited for the job.

Adrian has no problem doing his cousin-in-law a favor by pretending to be her sister’s love interest. In fact, no red-blooded man would turn down the gorgeous Trinity Matthews’s request—and Adrian Westmoreland is definitely red-blooded. Soon there’s real chemistry sizzling between these two and the lines become blurred. As a Westmoreland, Adrian is all about honorable intentions, but how long can he hold out before he turns this fake affair into something real?

From Harlequin Desire: Luxury, scandal, desire—welcome to the lives of the American elite.

    I really really wish this family series was an HBO special. I would love to see these characters come to life on the screen and not just in my head. I can't wait until Bailey find her man I know that story will be great as all the other. Thanks for he awesome read.

    Well, Mrs. Brenda Jackson, you’ve done it…again!! I pre-ordered this book and got it a few hours early and as expected, it was all that! I just finished reading this wonderful story and the best way I can say it is, “Well done!” I just love how the innocent caveman act surfaced in the beginning when Adrian was pretending to be Trinity’s lover. But beware of the protective man, for he has other intentions, whether he realizes it or not! And Trinity soon found out. Unfortunately, there are lots of Casey Belvederes in the world who are untouchable because of their wealth and pedigree. It was so nice to see him be taken down a notch by someone more powerful. I thought it good that the hospital administrator was included so that the bad behaviour and the cover up of bad behaviour would cease. And what Dr. Belvedere did not only ruined his career, but his brother’s as well. But in his selfishness, he was only thinking about himself. I loved the accident that Dr. Belvedere got into the night before. That was priceless. Maybe if Dillon had not been so noble, this whole farse could have ended sooner. Bravo!! ~Sheila
