Their secret fake relationship began with a little white lie...

Nora

My ginger beer brewery is, quite literally, my life. Unfortunately, I’m about to lose it. My male business partner's new fiancée is insanely jealous, and it’s only a matter of time before she forces him to quit.

So I ask him what it’ll take for her to back down.

A boyfriend.

I make one up, telling her it's too early to introduce him, which works up until she walks in on a heated private conversation between me and Cormac, my soon-to-be stepbrother.

She comes to a wild conclusion: the reason I’ve been keeping my boyfriend secret is because it's him.

I should definitely set her straight. Cormac is the last person I'd ever date, and not just because our parents are about to get married. I’ve known him since high school, and he’s awkward, introverted, and has the people skills of a houseplant.

But I'm desperate enough to tell the worst lie ever.

Cormac

Nora begs me to be her secret fake boyfriend–an act that only has to work on two people.

Any sane man would refuse, but I’ve promised my father to make peace with her. So I present her with an offer: dog sit my corgi for a weekend, and I’ll be the fake boyfriend of your dreams.

She accepts quickly, because she's never met my dog.

There’s only one problem: I had a huge crush on Nora in high school, and the more time we spend together, the more I realize it never went away.

**A standalone romcom in the Babes of Brewing series**

Note: There are TWO different versions of this romcom:

A spicy open door version with some strong language and s*x scenes

A closed door version with mild language and only kissing.

📣📣 Stake in the Game Blurb Reveal! 📣📣

Colette Kennedy-DeSilva came out of reality TV retirement for one reason: her bookstore is hemorrhaging money, and Bloodlines pays well enough to fix that—at least, if she can stay in the game long enough.

The show’s premise is straightforward. Twenty-six reality stars in a castle in Transylvania, with four of them secretly assigned the role of vampire and the rest trying to root them out before being picked off one by one. After fifteen years in the industry, Colette knows how to play this kind of game.

What she didn't account for is Brody Sullivan: her first love, her most public heartbreak, and apparently her castmate. A decade of bad blood, and now they're locked in a castle together playing a game that rewards exactly the kind of calculated charm he's always excelled at.

As the game turns cutthroat and the walls between them slowly come down, she has to decide whether what's reigniting between them is real or the most ruthless move Brody's ever made.

Perfect for fans of The Traitors.

Tropes:
-Traitors Vibes
-Reality TV Drama
-Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers
-Forced Proximity
-Golden Retriever MMC
-He Falls First (hides it)
-Secret Identity
-Slow Burn

Check out our 5-Minute AMA clip from Book Babble with E Barbee. this weekend!

This weekend, we had the pleasure of babbling with E. Barbee about her debut novel, All Of Us Monsters, and her journey from freelance writer to published author. As a full time author, E. dished about how she handles the pressures of time management, factoring in time for parenting and homeschooling her children, while still maintaining balance. She also talked about some of the challenges indie authors face and what it’s like to have a small but mighty community supporting her. Turn the volume up loud, folks, because this is a good one!

Next up on Book Babble:

E has been crafting stories since she was a little girl, sending poems and short tales in to Highlights Magazine and Reading Rainbow. Her fifth grade teacher bound her creative writing works together at the end of the school year, with a little note that read: “never stop writing.”

And she didn’t! Publishing research papers in college and freelancing articles for most of her early career, she kept her imagination alive by scribbling down the epic adventures, fantastical monsters, and love stories that lived rent-free in her head in her spare time. Spare time was scarce with the births of her two children, multiple cross-country moves, and her husband’s frequent military deployments, but she persisted. The debut fantasy romance of her dreams releases in early 2026.

In addition to an overactive imagination, E also has an affinity for running and weightlifting. She’s a certified personal trainer, homeschool mom, charcuterie enthusiast, hair donor, former thespian, and forever reader.
