Once Upon A Fake Date…

Audrey

All my life, I’d been dreaming of two things: shining in the spotlight on stage and falling in love. When I landed the lead part in the spring musical junior year, it felt like everything was falling into place. Especially when my childhood best friend came waltzing back into my life. Only, he’d gone from a scrawny pre-teen to a handsome athlete, and it was hard to take my eyes off of him.

Especially when he ended up as my co-lead for the musical. But our friendship meant too much to me to risk. I wasn’t sure my heart could survive losing him again.

Transferring to Castleton University for my senior year was my chance to start over and focus on lacrosse and getting my degree. What I didn’t expect when my teammates dragged me to a party was finding the girl of my dreams also known as my childhood best friend.

I was supposed to be focusing on lacrosse. Not volunteering to be the lead in the musical with her. Or fake dating her.

Except for when I saw her in my jersey, smiling just for me, I had a hard time remembering why this was supposed to be fake.

Which was why I intended to prove that I was the happy ending she’d always dreamed of.

One fake date at a time.

A spicy Sleeping Beauty inspired college romance.

The daughter of a runaway Christmas Elf. The son of Santa Claus. A whole lot of Christmas Magic. What could go wrong?

Ivy Winters

As the head elf at Santa’s Christmasland, I never expected to be butting heads with the new executive—or going on a date with him. But when he asked me to go home with him for Christmas, I surprised myself by saying yes.

Oh, and he’s from the North Pole.

And apparently, I’m an elf.

Teddy Claus

Training to take over the family business was no small undertaking, but for the last few years, I’d been working my way up through the ranks, mastering each branch of our enterprise.

But everything was different when I arrived at our Christmas themed amusement park and met her.

Maybe that was why I invited her home with me for Christmas.

It felt like I’d been searching my whole life for something, and I’d finally found it.

Maybe, what I’d needed all along was Ivy by my side.

Aurelia Callisto has spent her whole life looking to the stars.

The day she's been working for her entire life has finally come: her first day as a pilot on the S.S. Paradise. Only her new captain turns out to be a grump who thinks she has no business being a part of his starship's crew, even if she graduated first in her class from flight school. It doesn't quite feel like a paradise when your boss hates you and you're millions of light years away from the only home you've ever known. Until suddenly, he's not looking at her like she's less, but rather, more…

Captain Sylas Kellar didn't see it coming. He didn't see her coming.

Not the daughter of his childhood icon, nor his attraction to her. And he shouldn't want her. It's his first command as captain, and he really doesn't want to screw it up. Not when he has to prove himself to the world. But he can't resist the tension between them, and the ever-constant proximity to her has him losing his mind. Which begs one question: what happens when he gives in?

In a world beyond the stars, can the two find a love that will last a lifetime?

“Be my bride.”

After being attacked by demons, I never expected to discover that the man Id been seeing was the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm. When he proposes we marry to keep me safe, I agree, not realizing I would be so much more than just his wife.

I would be his Queen, one the Fates foretold would sit by his side. But to secure his rule, his throne He needs an heir. Suddenly, Im spending every night in his bed, and I can't help but wonder What if the Fates had been right, pairing us together? What if we were something more?
