From the USA Today bestselling author of When Javi Dumped Mari comes a hilarious twist on How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. 🤫 Schemers to lovers 🤫 Annoyances to lovers 🤫 Fake-ish dating 🤫 Slooooow burn 🤫 (mild) prank wars______________________________Vanessa Cordero can make your dream man's life miserable... For a reasonable fee, she'd date your crush. . . and drive him into your arms. Too clingy? Check. Jealous? Check. A parent's worst nightmare? Triple check. When Vanessa was done, your guy was practically begging for you. Enter Jason Torres; a certified commitment-phobe who doesn't plan on getting hitched anytime soon, much to his mother's dismay. What he needs is a temporary, inappropriate, and outrageous girlfriend. Someone his mother will hate, so she'll finally abandon her dreams of getting him married. Vanessa's little sister, Lisa, has her eye on Jason, and what better way to score him than by pulling the starter ex out of retirement one last time? The rules are simple: no touching, no fooling around, and definitely no falling in love. But nothing's going according to plan, and nothing Vanessa does is scaring Jason away. And the longer they're around each other, the harder it is to deny that they might just be the perfect match.
