Blurb:
When two friends
pose as boyfriends, could what happens at Christmas turn into something more?
Justin is recently and unhappily single. Christmas is
coming, and he doesn’t want to face his ex alone at their office party. So
Sean—Justin’s best mate and long-time secret crush—volunteers to go with him
and pretend to be his new flame.
Sean has always lusted after Justin from afar, but there’s never been a good opportunity to ask him for more than friendship. Posing as Justin’s boyfriend isn’t a chore, and if Justin wants to rebound onto him, Sean’s more than willing. At the party pretence and reality blur, and a kiss on the dance floor leads to a night of passion.
In the aftermath, they both assume it was a one-time thing until fate intervenes. Stuck together in London over the holidays, they give in to temptation again. But what happens at Christmas stays at Christmas... right?

Excerpt:
Justin’s
phone chimed with a text, interrupting Sean’s train of thought.
Justin
picked up his phone to read the message. “Ugh.” He put the phone back down
without typing a reply and ran his hands through his hair.
“What’s
up?”
Justin
sighed. “It’s our work Christmas party next weekend. I’ve already got a ticket,
and nearly everyone in the office goes, but it’s for partners as well. One of
my co-workers, Jess, is bugging me to come, but I can’t face it. I bet Andy’s
going to bring his new boyfriend. I know he’s a shit and I shouldn’t let him
get to me, but the thought of him parading around with my replacement, and me
being there on my own, isn’t very appealing.”
“Is it
too late to find someone to take?”
“No,
they don’t need final numbers till Monday.”
“Well,
then. Take someone else and flirt like crazy in front of him. Show him you can
do better and that you’ve already moved on.”
“But
I’m not ready to date. It’s only been two weeks, and I’m still at the
feeling-sorry-for-myself stage.”
“I’ll
go with you,” Sean offered. “I could be your date. We could pretend we’ve got
together and are a couple now.”
“Yeah?”
Justin looked thoughtful. “Are you sure?”
Duh. It would hardly be much of a
sacrifice to flirt with Justin all night. It would actually be a relief not to
have to hide the way he felt for a change.
“Sure,”
Sean replied. “I think I can manage to fake that I’m arse-over-tit infatuated
with you. As long as it’s only for a few hours.”
“Gee,
thanks.” Justin rolled his eyes. “You really know how to make an
already-wounded ego feel better. But if you’re up for it, we should totally do
it. Andy was always jealous of you before you went away. He saw you as competition
because we lived together and were so close. I’d love to see his face when I
walk in with you on my arm. I think he’ll hate it even if he’s moved on.”
“Okay.” Sean rubbed his hands together, excited at the
prospect of getting to piss off Andy. “Let’s do it! Text your friend Jess back
and tell her you’re in—with a hot date.”

Meet the author:
Jay lives just outside Bristol in the West of England, with her husband,
two children, and two cats.
She comes from a family of writers, but she always used to believe that
the gene for fiction writing had passed her by. She spent years only ever
writing emails, articles, or website content. One day, she decided to try and
write a short story–just to see if she could–and found it rather addictive. She
hasn’t stopped writing since.
