BLURB:
When Will seeks to rekindle a flame with his ex-girlfriend, his best friend Monique reluctantly suggests a plan involving secret admirer notes to divert his ex’s attention. In a surprising turn, Monique finds herself infatuated with her new boss, prompting Will to reciprocate with anonymous tokens of affection. However, as the deceptive game unfolds, both Monique and Will come to realize that the heartfelt sentiments expressed in the secret admirer notes were their own true feelings. So, what happens if the plan works? What happens if it doesn’t?

EXCERPT
“Happy New Year, sweetheart,” he says, his words slurred from champagne.
“Sure,” I say, letting my eyes close. “Can’t even imagine anything happy about it.”
“Cynical,” he teases, but I don’t have the energy to argue
with him.
Will is a handsome guy, though lacking in any fashion sense. He’s my ride or die friend, has been since middle school, and I adore him.
“Are you going home?” I ask, noticing his eyes blink slower,
or maybe my eyes are blinking slowly.
Beyond Happily Ever After
By
Bernadette Marie
When you think of romances, you often think of the fairy tale ending. “And they lived happily ever after.” But what I love about romance now, something that this new generation of romance authors has brought to the table, is the alternative endings. Sure, a real romance ends happily, but maybe it’s not happily ever after, but happy for now or we’re happy with what we have.
It’s refreshing that not every romance novel ends with a proposal, marriage, or pregnancy. Sure, those are still great endings--classics. But romances now end with, “we’re happy dating,” or “sure I’ll move in.”
Romances
are filled with the good stuff about finding that love that makes your insides
flutter. It’s learning about a new person or finding that point where a
friendship tips over into love. That hasn’t changed. It’s what I love about a
good romance. There is just nothing like falling in love--over and over
again--no matter how they choose to live that happily ever after.
