Preservation by Kate Canterbary

Riley Walsh doesn't want a fake girlfriend but he needs one.

It's the only thing he can do to deal with an ex who doesn't believe it's over and years of pining for the most off-limits woman in his world-his sister-in-law.

Alexandra Emmerling can't catch a break.

She's left picking up the pieces of her ex's humiliating lies and manipulations, rendering her reputation in her ultra-competitive surgical residency program seems beyond repair.

A simple arrangement.

Two months. Four dates. Five at the most. But possibly six. Definitely no more than six. Only the appearance of a romantic relationship is required. No other benefits involved in this agreement.

One weekend to unravel the entire plan.

After waking up in bed together-very naked, very hungover-the terms and conditions of their arrangement no longer apply. But that doesn't mean they're finished with each other.

Kate Canterbary isn't sure she has it all figured out, but she does know that spicy-ass salsa and tequila fix most issues, that living on the ocean--Pacific or Atlantic--is the closest thing to perfection, and that writing witty, smutty novels is better than any amount of chocolate. She began her career as a reporter for an indie arts and entertainment daily back when people still read newspapers, and she has been writing and secretly interviewing people ever since--be cautious sitting next to her on a plane. Kate lives in New England with Canterbary and the Little Baby Canterbary, and when she's not writing sexy architects, she plans her days around the greatest food trucks in the area.
