Faking It

Alex Winters

Summary

A stolen bike. A jealous roommate. A secret pact. A fake dating scheme. What could possibly go wrong?
Vick Jameson's college roommate Chad is a boorish, loud-mouthed, perfectly-chiseled, sex-obsessed brute. He also happens to have a huge crash on slim, slight, bookish, all-American Vick. When Vick doesn't return his affections, Chad resorts to hiring a fake date to make him jealous.
Tate Carlson never thought he would be someone's fake date, especially in a vaguely sordid, make some hedonistic frat chode's roommate jealous kind of scheme, but after his bike is stolen, he needs a new one to zoom around Seabreeze State's sprawling campus. So against his better judgment, Tate pretends to sleep with Chad, who promises a new bike just as soon as the plan works and Vick finally falls into bed with him. Even though all they do is play games and listen to racy porn soundtracks next to poor, unsuspecting Vick's bedroom.
But when Vick spots him coming out of Chad's room the next morning, as was the plan all along, it's not Chad he's lusting after. Instead, he is entranced with Tate and soon the two struggle with how to make a meet cute based on deceit work in real life. Will Chad understand when it turns out his fake dating ploy worked a little too well but with the wrong guy? Will poor Tate ever get his new bike?

Merrily You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Holiday: If there’s one thing I can count on, it’s my family to be all in my business. No matter how many times I explain boundaries and privacy, they’re just not getting the memo, especially when it comes to my relationships. For years they’ve been asking me why I don’t date my best friend and roommate, Daniella. No matter how many times I say the words “we’re friends,” they’re not getting it. 
  
Daniella: I love my family. I really do. But they will NOT leave me alone about being single. Every time I show up, they’re throwing someone new at me or making pointed comments about Holiday that aren’t subtle at all. Since murder isn’t an option, I’m going to need another idea. 
  
Holiday: With my family Christmas celebration coming up, I honestly think about cancelling, but then I have a better idea. Since everyone already believes that I’m secretly in love with Danny, why not just go with it? We’ve known each other for so long, this will be easy to pull off. 
  
Daniella: Leave it to Holiday to come up with an absolutely wild, but completely brilliant, plan to get our families off our backs. The two of us are so comfortable that pretending to date shouldn’t be that different than being besties. And then … it is. Very, very different.
