When Sara’s mother comes to town to pay her a surprise visit, excited to meet Sara’s boyfriend, the one she just dumped, she knows she’ll never live down her awful track record with men. Nick Moreno likes living alone, but when his baby sister calls him and asks him to help out a friend of hers, he can’t say no. His brother, Jake, is immediately smitten by his new roommate. When Nick and Jake tag along to help Sara deal with her mother’s unexpected visit, Jake creates havoc, as only he can do. Jake convinces Nick and Sara to pretend to be engaged just to get through the visit. How hard could it be? They’re already living together. Nick grudgingly agrees. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Pursued by one brother, and completely confused by the other, what’s a girl with a pretend fiancé and real feelings to do? Book One in the Moreno Trilogy
EXCERPT 1:
“Thank you so much.”
She was beginning to feel like a broken record. She saw him glance
around the parking lot and followed his gaze to the coffee shop in the
corner.
“Why don’t you thank me by having coffee with me? We could go over to the shop next door. Sounds like you’ve been having a pretty cruddy day. Maybe I can cheer you up?” And then he gave her that killer smile. Okay, so… not gay?
Must do it for other girls, but Sara wasn’t swayed. He probably went from grocery store to grocery store, looking for helpless females to help out, guilting them into going for coffee with him. Yep, that was it. He was a serial charmer.

EXCERPT 2:
Sara felt her breath catch in her throat for the second time in two days, and he looked away. Since the light was going down and the sun was to his back, she couldn’t see what color his eyes were, but she already knew that intense gaze was a deep green. She felt his eyes on her once more and the familiar tingles tickled their way up and down her spine.
The man from the gas station.
This was completely incredible. What were the odds of Sara running into not one, but both of Lisa’s brothers in the same day? Both coming to her rescue with two very different scenarios playing out and with her having two totally different reactions to the men. There’s no way I’m going to be able to pull this off! Live with this man? They would completely drive each other insane. This cannot be happening!

A thought occurred to Sara. “Nick, did you know my Mom was there?” He shook his head no, rubbing his forehead against hers. “So you weren’t putting on a show with the kiss?” He shook his head once more.
“Then…what was...” she trailed off helplessly.
He leaned back against the wall, but still holding her hand, quirked an eyebrow. He didn’t give her time to ask any more questions but instead leaned in again, and Sara closed her eyes, bracing herself for another kiss. Her eyes popped opened in surprise when she felt him kiss the tip of her nose. He turned and headed to the garage, pulling her along behind him.
