The Next Best Fling

Coming July 9th from Forever

Two broken hearts decide that the best way to get over their first loves is with a no-strings-attached relationship in this spicy and charming debut romance.

Librarian Marcela Ortiz has been secretly in love with her best friend for years—and when he gets engaged, she knows it’s long past time to move on. But before she gets the chance, she catches Theo Young, ex-NFL player and older brother of the man she’s been pining over, about to confess his feelings for the bride-to-be at the engagement party. Marcela is quick to stop him, convincing Theo to sleep off his drunken almost-mistake at her place. When they arrive at a family brunch the next day together, everyone wrongly assumes they hooked up.

Since Theo needs a cover for his feelings for the bride and Marcela needs a distraction from her unrequited feelings for the groom, they decide to roll with the lie. Until one late night at a bar, they take it a step further and discover a layer of attraction neither realized existed. Soon, they find themselves exploring the simmering chemistry between them, whether in library aisles or Marcela's bed. There are no boundaries for the rebound relationship they form—and before long, they have to admit that maybe their rebound is working a little too well.
