A fake boyfriend for the wedding
Could it ever possibly become the real thing?
XAVI
I know what everyone thinks of me.
Im stupid, mean, and I couldnt get a man to stay with me for longer than a night if I paid him. Well, jokes on them, because thats exactly what Im going to do.
Im paying my hot, gay coworker to come to the wedding and pretend to be my boyfriend, so they all stop laughing at me once and for all.
But when we actually get there, I realize my mistake pretty quickly. Rowe is just too perfect. Hes making me look bad. Worse than that hes reminding me that I am bad.
Worst of all is how he makes me not want to be bad anymore because Im not sure I know how to be good.
And when I learn that hes leaving town at the end of the month, my stomach hits the floor.
I know I need him.
I know he could make me a better man.
I just dont know how Im going to convince him to stay.
ROWE
I have so much on my plate. My medical bills. My sisters medical bills. The extra jobs Im working at all hours to pay for them.
And Xavi Mendez, the cute but completely infuriating coworker I keep having to save from getting fired.
His proposition sounds like the answer to my prayers: two thousand dollars, tax-free and cash-in-hand, all mine if I just pretend to be his boyfriend for two days. A kiss here and there to sell the illusion wont hurt for that amount of money. Somehow, its fitting that I have to bail him out of trouble one more time.
The only problem is, each time we kiss, Im starting to be less and less convinced that its an illusion at all.
But it has to be an illusion, because I cant afford to live in this town anymore. At the end of the month, Im leaving so I cant get involved.
Not with anyone.
Not even with a man who sits at my feet begging to be loved, letting me take charge and somehow, despite all the odds, tugging at the strings of my heart.
Dont Leave Town is a fake boyfriends friends to lovers gay romance with plenty of heat! This fourth book in the Crowhill Cove series can also be read as a standalone. Happy ending guaranteed in more ways than one!
