Dragan Carter isn’t good enough for his best friend, June.
Growing up poor in Oak Valley, he kept his expectations low: teach himself computer programming and take care of his mom and four younger siblings when his dad went on a bender. No way was he good enough for beautiful, smart June Beaumont, even if she was his best friend.
June Beaumont’s life was perfect.
Or that’s what everyone else thought anyway. And with two doting parents, a prosperous family bookstore, and a group of close friends, who could blame them? Dragan, her best friend since kindergarten, was the only person who saw the real June, the person behind all the storybook stuff that made up her perfect life. Dragan was the one who let her be real, the one who helped her pick up the pieces after her parents were killed in a car accident.
But when June’s grandparents pass the once-booming bookstore to her, the truth is irrefutable: the fairytale is over. The bookstore is deeply in debt, and June can’t seem to find her footing to save it. Still, Dragan is by her side, totally oblivious to the fact that she finds him impossibly hot, ambitious, and talented.
While Dragan rushes to sell an app he’s been working on to help save the bookstore, he needs her help to deter his family from their over-bearing questions.
The solution? Asking his best friend to be his fake girlfriend.
As Dragan and June try to save the bookstore and give his family a reason to stop pestering him, their attraction becomes undeniable and their true feelings come to the surface. But when your best friend is the only thing you can count on with the sand shifting beneath your feet, is it worth the risk to follow your heart?
