A Grump in Moose Falls by Emily Silver

Wanted: one fake boyfriend for the holiday season.

There are few things I need more in life than my work and my friends. Sure, I’m inexperienced in all things love, but who cares? My life is good.
When my coworkers try to set me up, I invent a fake boyfriend to get them off my back. But when the company holiday party comes around, I need a real boyfriend.
Who does a man turn to in his moment of need?
His best friend.
Hunter is the perfect person to help. One night. That’s it. We can pretend to date for a few hours. But when Hunter needs me to return the favor, it all starts to come too easily.
Kissing. Holding hands. Feelings. I want to experience everything with Hunter.
Can we keep this going after the holidays?
Maybe it’s time to make this whole fake relationship real…
