Mr. Silver by Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne (Paperback)

Sterling Golden. Cocky football star. Rich playboy with a secret. The guy she’d most like to throat-punch. And, as the cherry on top, the man our heroine, Lexi, is now stuck pretending to be in love with for the next few months. Mr. Silver is a full-length, standalone enemies-to-lovers fake-dating romance in Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne’s Kings of Cypress Pointe series.

When Lexi spotted Sterling sneaking out of the Dean’s window, a woman whose reputation very much precedes her, she could have minded her own business. But it’s not every day you catch your nemesis in quite such a compromising position, so she did what any self-respecting person would: she added fuel to the scandal, then laughed while the cops hauled him off in nothing but his boxers and a pair of handcuffs.

Naturally, the arrogant prick found a way to rope her into the very lie that got him out of trouble. Which means the only way Lexi comes out of this unscathed is to play along and pretend they’re a thing. In public, they give the city the show it craves. But behind closed doors, the gloves come off, and who knew trading insults could feel quite so much like foreplay? There’s an expiration date on this arrangement, if only they can both remember it isn’t real.

Please note this is an 18+ read. Perfect for readers who love an enemies-to-lovers fake-dating romance, a cocky playboy hero and a heroine who gives as good as she gets.
