Thanks to my great, great, gold-digging grandma, I'm cursed.

If I don't make someone fall in love with me before my 25th birthday, everyone I know will suffer seven years of bad luck. My only option in this tiny town is a rich, playboy known as "Brett the Beast."

And he's not the only one. I'm killer at hiding my ugly side, until I'm forced to date. Okay, force is a strong word but when Brett planned to bulldoze my family's old house, I struck a deal.

Like everyone else in Folklore Falls, I hate the guy, but I promised to help him win the mayoral election if he leaves the house standing. Little does he know, I also need him to say he loves me before I turn twenty-five on Halloween.

The problem is, our relationship is fake. Pretend romance might trick people into trusting Brett, but will it help me kiss the curse goodbye?

Fake Dating's a Beast is a sweet, small-town romance inspired by Beauty and the Beast that keeps the bedroom door closed. It is the second installment of the Folklore Falls Romance series but can be enjoyed on its own. For fans of The Ex Hex, Beth Labonte's Autumnboro romances, and books by Emma St. Clair.
