Plus-One Season

Three weddings. One hired date. Zero chance of keeping it professional.

From Elana Maris, author of Seven Days in Santorini, comes a sparkling summer romance filled with fake dating, irresistible banter, and one dangerously convincing plus-one.

Ava Hart has survived a brutal breakup with her dignity intact. Then her ex publicly unveils the woman he swore was "just a friend," and three wedding invitations arrive at once. One is from family. One promises a reunion with her most observant college friends. And the last is for her ex's sister's wedding, where everyone will be watching to see if Ava falls apart.

Showing up alone is not an option.

Enter Luke Mercer, professional plus-one.

Charming, discreet, and remarkably good with difficult relatives, Luke specializes in making socially complicated occasions easier to survive. The arrangement is strictly business: one wedding, no kissing, no sleepovers, and absolutely no feelings.

But one wedding soon becomes three.

Between sun-drenched vineyards, champagne by the sea, candlelit ballrooms, and dances that feel far too real, Ava discovers that Luke sees straight through the polished image she presents to the world. And the more time they spend pretending to be together, the harder it becomes to remember where the performance ends.

Because Luke was hired to help Ava prove that her life has moved on.

He was never supposed to become the reason it finally does.

Plus-One Season is a witty, swoon-worthy contemporary romantic comedy featuring fake dating, forced proximity, slow-burn chemistry, wedding-season chaos, sharp banter, tender vulnerability, and a heartwarming happily ever after.
