Tyler Bennett and I hate each other.

The annoying jerk my parents forced me to play with as a kid grew up to be a sexy, grumpy baker who still cant stand me. Sure, maybe I enjoy our bitter banter, his cocky smirk, his chocolate chip cookies. But theres a reason I cant play nice.

Youre wondering whyif I hate the guy so muchdid I agree to be his fake date to his cousins wedding? Look. Just because I love being a pain in the mans well-formed butt doesnt mean I want someone else torturing him. Especially not the ex-fiance who left him for his best friend.

One night of faking it takes an unexpected turn. Heated glances, lingering touches, that arrogant mouth against mine. One night of getting swept away in an attraction that maybe isnt so one-sided after all.

Aside from this new, tentative friendship laced with sexual tension, something else has grown out of that night.

And Tyler and I will have to figure it all out…in about nine months.

Authors note:Just One Favoris an enemies-to-lovers stand-alone romance with a hot side of longing, sexually charged banter, a broken hotel bed, and chocolate cream pie.
