The Boyfriend Bet
(2026)(The second book in the Desperately Single Seeking Billionaire series)
A novel by J S Cooper
Wanted: A gorgeous man who looks at me like I’m the last woman on earth.
Not Wanted: A grumpy ex-SEAL who answers every question with three words.
The first time I saw Brett Selleck I was struck by how handsome, formidable, and unapproachable he was. I have to admit that I flirted with him both because I was attracted to him and I wanted a reaction. Unfortunately for me, I got neither. So I very quickly decided to just become friends with him instead. Who doesn’t want a hot best friend who is willing to listen and offer dating advice?
I bet him he couldn't find me a boyfriend in three months. If he wins, I’ll stop trying to set him up. I’ll quit asking about his past and why he has so many secrets. And our late-night phone calls, with me wanting advice all the time, will end forever.
He agreed so fast that I was slightly insulted.
But funny how life works because Brett also needed my help. To inherit his significant family trust, he has to be married or engaged. Guess who commitment-phobe Brett asks to do a little acting in exchange for him helping me practice for my dates. How were we to know that our fake kisses would feel so real? And all the tips he’s giving me to fend off men...well they don’t seem to be working on him.
I've spent my entire life being the person everyone else leans on. So when a man who doesn't do feelings starts walking me to my car every night, and checking up on me after all my dates, it starts to feel kinda nice. He thinks he’s doing the job he was trained for. I am starting to hope he’s bad at his job.
He bet he could find me the right man. Now he just has to realize he already did.
Tropes: Grumpy × Sunshine, Fake Dating, Dating Coach, He Falls First, Wounded Hero, Best Friend's Sister, Forced Proximity, Only One Bed, Found Family, Small Town.
Genre: Romance
