Fake Date with a Rock Star
(2025)(The first book in the Fake Dates and Heartaches series)
A novel by Mandy Melanson
I text my best friend for a ride after catching my ex cheating. I didn’t expect her rock star brother to show up like my knight in shining leather.
ARIA
I thought the worst thing I'd face at the music festival would be the porta-potty.
Turns out it was catching my boyfriend with his tongue shoved down someone else’s throat.
So I did what any self-respecting and emotionally wrecked woman would do... I threw my hot dogs at him.
Then he stole my car.
Now I’m stranded, single and covered in ketchup and mud.
And who does my best friend send to rescue me from the scene of my emotional carnage?
Her brother.
Deck Kingston.
The tattooed, emotionally unavailable heartthrob of East Divide.
The guy who used to make me believe in happily ever after, until he ghosted me without a word when he left Oak Valley to chase his rock star dreams.
Before we even make it past the security gate our reunion turns into a viral scandal.
Now I’m fake dating the man who broke my heart over a deacde ago.
At least this time I know it's all for show and to keep my heart out of it.
DECK
She's my sister’s best friend.
The girl I never stopped loving.
And the one I walked away from to protect her from my trainwreck of a life.
Now she’s stuck on my tour bus, wearing my shirt, sleeping in my bunk…
And the whole world thinks we’re in love because I’m a walking PR liability and the label decided a girlfriend would shut down the relapse rumors.
Spoiler: I didn't replapse.
Some fans just have way too much time on their hands.
She thinks it's all an act for the cameras.
But I’ve never been more real.
I’m not used to second chances.
And I sure as hell don’t deserve one from Aria Harper.
But if she gives me one?
I won’t waste it.
