A fake date for a family wedding at Christmas...that's all the favor was supposed to be. But their hearts didn't get the memo.

Aspen

Luke Simmons is my best friend at the office. A cinnamon roll in human form.

He's the ultimate good guy, always looking out for me (and everyone else around him). He's sexy, in a nerdy way.

Not my type at all.

My abandonment issues would never let me pick a guy like Luke. So, when he needs a fake girlfriend to bring home for a holiday wedding, I agree. It’s not like I’m going to fall in love with him..

Or so I keep telling myself…

Luke

I’ve been pining for Aspen Shaw for years. Her beauty, that adorable birthmark, her intelligence…she’s perfect.

Too bad the feeling is totally unrequited and she's got me chilling in the friend-zone.

Moving out of state for a job promotion is my remedy for getting over her and moving on.

Now we're back in my childhood home and stuck sharing one bed.

So, I’m not about to let a little forced proximity make me do something stupid –- like

act on my feelings.

.

Can I survive being so close to her without professing my undying love?

Especially since she has no idea I’m moving away after New Years…

Life is Better with You is book one in the YOU Series, and can be read as a standalone, contemporary romance with it's very own happily ever after.
