Sterling Fight (alternative cover)

These former friends might be faking their engagement but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry.He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no.(I'm a bit obsessed with calendar days.)He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.I offered him a napkin.Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother's garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.And suddenly, I'm Judd's fiancée. Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.
