Tea Leaves and Fake BoyfriendsA Cozy Beach Town Midlife Romance

His Cup of Tea #5 / 7
by Kat Vroman
Tea Leaves and Fake Boyfriends: A Cozy Beach Town Midlife Romance (His Cup of Tea #5) by Kat Vroman
Unrated

When a psychic's advice to "be a knight in shining armor" leads a cupcake shop owner to rescue a sobbing woman from her public breakup, he never expects to fake an engagement by week's end.

Wesley Backus only visited Lady Merla to get his sister and her wife off his back about his love life, but when her cryptic fortune sends him straight to a crying stranger's table, he finds himself volunteering to be her fake boyfriend for the worst week imaginable. Ariana Lochridge just got dumped the day before her family arrives for her cousin's wedding, and facing her judgmental mother without a man seems like social suicide.

What starts as a simple rescue mission turns complicated when Wesley has to share Ariana's hotel room, charm her awful relatives, and somehow convince everyone they're madly in love. The electric chemistry between them makes the fake kisses feel dangerously real, and when her mother's cruel comments push Wesley too far, he shocks everyone by announcing their engagement.

As the wedding week unfolds with family drama and stolen moments, both must decide if their fake relationship is worth making real. From cupcake shop meet-cutes to beachside confessions, this fake dating romance proves that sometimes the best relationships bloom from the most unexpected rescues.

Tea Leaves and Fake Boyfriends is part of the His Cup of Tea paranormal romance series, where fortune telling brings deserving couples their own happily-ever-afters.

Tea Leaves and Fake Boyfriends is a first person POV, one-hour instalove read, perfect for your lunch break or work commute. Or simply for just taking a breather - you deserve it!

Kat Vroman

A Masshole Californian in the streets and a paranormal romance writer in the sheets, Kat Vroman pens steamy novellas for the busy reader who doesn’t have time to wait for a Happily Ever After. A full-time working single mom herself, she understands the need to steal an hour or two for a magical escape from the everyday grind. 

Kat’s paranormal quickies feature Gen X protagonists, with an occasional Elder Millennial thrown in, because true love can strike us at any age. And a graying mountain merman can be damn sexy, right?!
