Faking It for the Weekend (The Smith Family #1)

Previously published as One Summer Weekend.

One weekend. One bed. One very convincing performance.

Alicia Marlowe has her life all sorted. She's built a career coaching powerful executives, and since her heartbreak three years ago, she's kept one simple rule: men are a problem she no longer has time for.

Then in walks her new client. Jack Smith, the self-made boss of a struggling Lancashire factory, and the man the tabloids have crowned "babe magnet of the North West”.

Sharp-tongued and maddeningly sure of himself, he's everything Alicia avoids.

And when Jack’s idea of a client visit turns out to be a weekend away in the Lake District, there’s just one problem — he’s told all his friends that Alicia is his girlfriend.

Now she's stuck miles from home, playing girlfriend to a man she can't stand . . . and sharing the one bed in a very small motorhome.

But the longer she plays the part, the clearer it becomes that the arrogant playboy of the headlines is a fiction, and the real man is far harder to resist.

Somewhere between the mountain paths and the midnight confessions, keeping it professional starts to feel like the biggest mistake Alicia could make.
