Darling Girl

Kade Blackwood has always been my favourite decision.

From being my best friend, roommate, and the one person I go to when being single starts to feel a bit too lonely, and when I don't want to waste my time finding a one-night stand. We've had two rules regarding our friends-with-benefits arrangement.

Don't have any expectations, and always crawl back to each other when we're single.

It was easy until his cheating ex-girlfriend came crawling back to him, begging for a second chance. Kade's solution was to fake date me since everyone already assumes that we're together, so apparently faking it wouldn't be difficult.

All we have to do is convince his ex-girlfriend and everyone else that we're madly in love. Except there's one tiny problem... I've been in love with Kade for years, he just doesn't know it.

Somewhere between the best pleasure and comfort I've ever had, we start to forget where the lies end and the truth begins. And then... there's the pact that we made as teenagers. If we're both still single by the time we turn twenty-six, we'll marry each other.

It was supposed to be a joke, a promise between two best friends that didn't want to grow old with anyone else. But when my twenty-sixth birthday rolls around, Kade has something else in mind.
