Looking like the perfect new couple is the goal…So long as Dr. Clay Russell avoids looking too deeply into how much he can have fun with Leigh, the plan is still in play. She's charming everyone, except his clingiest ex-fling. And she's proving to him that it's not always a bad idea to lighten up and not be serious. Sex might have been a mistake, one they know better to repeat now. But each time she talks about her employment plans after their contract is over, he struggles to think about her being gone. And when she's the support he hadn't realized he'd been missing, he wonders how to ask her to stay.Showing up and wowing all of Clay's superiors at a fundraiser is too easy, but facing off with the one woman who doesn't want to let him go gives her a run for the money.He's too quick to explain and describe how badly he wants her, the woman who's supposed to be off-limits, per the contract they agreed upon that stated no intimacy. Forgiving him might have been her best choice yet. One that teaches her how strongly her feelings are changing for him. When she's invited to an engagement party for her ex, she's surprised at his proposition.The perfect storm is brewing with her going back to show her former man how she's moved on.So long as there's no final commitments in this fake agreement, what's there to lose?Not Another Love Story SeriesPart 1Part 2Part 3 "Love should be something that lasts forever, not is lost forever."

The problem with lies is that someone is always bound to crack them and expose the truth…Having someone claim that Clay hired Leigh to act like his girlfriend is the last thing he wanted to happen at the engagement party for her ex, but there's no point in wishing they could rewind it all. They started on this path and they had to go forward however they could. This close to the big gala, where he's bound to be announced as head of surgery, he's unsure if he wants to be as married to his career as he once was. Leigh could be his future, couldn't she? Even though she's looking for somewhere else to live and a new job to start?The problem with falling in love with someone is that something will come and crumble it apart and challenge it all. Having Clay's support when someone gossips about their fake relationship helps her keep her chin up. But when she overhears his ex-fling planning a solid future with Clay, as if she doesn't matter at all, it's a moment of reckoning she can't escape. No matter how they'd started this all, as a girlfriend-for-hire want ad, friendship was inevitable.Love is impossible to stop, but can they overcome the lies they founded it with and grow as a "real" couple for something true?
