The Billionaire Dating Game
Aubrey Dark - 2016
I don't know who Piers Letocci is, or why every girl in America is head over heels for him. I only know that I have to interview Piers about his new show, The Billionaire Dating Game. Fifteen minutes of journalistic duty, and I'm out of there. Or so I thought. Piers isn't just some random celebrity. He's the guy I kissed at the coffeeshop last night. Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, who wouldn't tell me his real name when he set my whole body on fire with just one kiss. I never thought I'd see him again, but... there he is, sitting across from me, with that same charming glint in his eye. I've never believed in soulmates. Piers might just prove me wrong. Now, I'm not just interviewing him about his show... somehow, I'm on it. And it's up to me to prove that I have what it takes to date a billionaire. If I lose, I may never see Piers again. And if I win... Oh, God. What if I win?

Faking It
K. Bromberg - 2019
Bromberg—available in audio first! Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn’t surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he’s a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview. Yes, he’s impossibly hot – but he’s also an arrogant jackass—so . . . no thanks. But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I’m somehow offered the chance to play Zane’s girlfriend to help promote his new dating website – and the best part? He can’t say no because he’ll get caught in his lie too. Little did I know this would entail sharing a tour bus with him for the next few months. The fact that the bus has just one bed isn’t the most ideal of circumstances, but this spokesperson gig might be the kick in the pants my career needs, so why not take a chance? Famous last words. Now I’m crisscrossing the country–and sharing that bed—with the one guy I can’t stand. And even worse, my traitorous body is wondering at every turn what it’s like to be down under the gorgeous Australian. But as the miles unfurl, so does our passion…and if I’m not careful, I might end up believing that fairytales really do come true.
