One weekend. One fake relationship. One very real problem...
Willow Von Bates has a plan: show up to her family’s Cotswolds getaway with a hot, doting boyfriend and finally get her snobby parents off her back. Enter Francesco Santoro—Italian billionaire, serial heartbreaker, and her oldest (and mostly harmless) friend.
It’s all supposed to be fake. Emphasis on supposed to be.
They’ve been strictly platonic for years—except for that one drunken night they definitely don’t talk about. But now they’re playing couple in close quarters, sharing a cozy fire-lit room, fake kisses, and family dinners. And suddenly the sparks aren’t so fake.
Francesco isn’t just pretending to care—he is caring. A little too much. Especially when Willow’s stepmother starts tearing her down. Even worse? Willow’s starting to see past the playboy charm to the fiercely loyal man underneath.
The line between friends and lovers is getting real blurry, real fast. If they’re not careful, one little weekend might just ruin everything.
Sparks fly in this fast paced, spicy, friends to lovers romance. FRIENDS WHO FAKE IT is the next instalment in The Italian Rivals series but can be read as a standalone.
Genre: Romance
