USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Norinne believes every great story should be sinfully sexy and irresistibly romantic.

Originally from California, Rebecca now resides on Massachusetts’s North Shore in a house built in the 1700s with her wonderful husband and two adorable cats. Yes, there is a ghost.

When she's not writing, Rebecca enjoys cheering on Leinster Rugby, playing strategy board games, collecting yarn (IYKYK), and planning her next vacation.

MY SURPRISING VALENTINE

Showing up solo to my cousin’s Valentine’s Day wedding? Not an option. I can already hear my relatives’ relentless questions about my love life (or lack thereof). So, in a moment of desperation, I do the unthinkable—I agree to fake a relationship.

With him.

Dr. Max Bennett. My brother’s best friend and the devastatingly handsome, commitment-phobic player I’ve been secretly in love with since I was a teenager. The same man who should have been completely off-limits—but now, for one weekend, is completely mine.

What starts as a harmless charade quickly spirals out of control. Those lingering touches and the heated glances that burn straight through me—they don’t feel so fake. And when Max confesses he’s always wanted me, too, I have to wonder … was this ever pretend, or has he been mine all along?
