When two single people meet at a wedding, they should hook up, right? Even if those people happen to be me (sweet, demure, slay-the-day, people-pleaser Naomi) and Mason Haas (foul-mouthed, phallic-shirt-wearing owner of the local tiki bar)?

And flings are forgettable, right? That is, unless it was the best one-night-stand of your life. But I swear I can forget about it, because I’m a good girl.

However, it looks like a second wedding is on the horizon, and guess who’ll be there? My ex, who was the trifecta: smart, rich, and unspeakably good-looking. But he dumped me and left me licking my wounds, and I’m not about to show up to another wedding single and pathetic.

But wait: if Mason and I were so compatible in the bedroom, we’re bound to make fake-dating look like paradise. Nothing says I’m happy without you like a fake boyfriend on my arm. Or even better, a fake fiancé.

However, when the bride, wedding party, and my ex all show up a week early and stay at my Hawaiian beach house, paradise suddenly gets overcrowded.

A fake relationship is easy for a day, but how will we keep it up for a whole week in Hawaii? Especially when Mason starts to play fiancé a little too well. In fact, I’m not sure if we’re still faking at all.

Gin and Lava is a standalone, spicy, fake dating romantic comedy and the fifth book in the Flambé series.
