Descripción editorial
Tracey Livesay continues her fun-filled Girls Trip series with this romance that will tug at your heartstrings.
Sometimes faking it can lead to the real
thing…
Driven and focused, Dr. Nicole Allen is an
accomplished surgeon. With a tough past, Nic’s gone above and beyond everyone’s
expectations. But when she disciplines an intern—a powerful donor’s son—a
prestigious fellowship she’s awaiting is placed in jeopardy.
Coming from a successful family who runs a medical
business empire, Benjamin Reed Van Mont is the black sheep, having chosen to start
his own business instead. Though he’s not ready to settle down, he knows when
the time comes it definitely won’t be with a workaholic doctor like his friend Nic—even
if she’s had him re-examining his edict…more than once.
When Ben’s status-climbing ex-girlfriend finds her way
back into his orbit, Nic proposes a swap of services. She’ll spend the week
with Ben on Martha’s Vineyard, pretending to be his girlfriend—but only if
he’ll have his family intervene on her behalf so she won’t lose her fellowship.
How hard can the charade be?
But as they’re about to discover, they’ve sorely underestimated
their true feelings for each other…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Friends surrender to their desires during a scenic getaway in Livesay's outstanding second Girls Trip romance (after Sweet Talkin' Lover). Financial planner Benjamin Van Mont is smitten with surgeon Nicole Allen from the moment she shows up to rent his downstairs apartment. But, after being raised by two renowned but work-addicted physicians who paid him no attention, he's promised himself never to get involved with a doctor. That works fine for Nicole, whose own childhood being raised by a single mother forced to work several jobs after Nicole's father abandoned them left her determined never to sacrifice her career for a man. The pair ignore their mutual attraction and strike up a friendship. When one of Nicole's disgruntled intern's powerful family puts her at risk of losing her fellowship, Ben asks his parents to put in a good word. To show her gratitude, Nicole agrees to pretend to be Ben's girlfriend on a vacation to Martha's Vineyard to keep his demanding ex at bay but can their relationship withstand the ruse? Nicole and Ben are both passionate and ambitious, and Nicole's fiery temperament is balanced by Ben's calming nature. The steady pace, smooth progression from friends to lovers, and natural, witty dialogue make this a winner. Readers will be wowed.
