It was supposed to be fun - but things are getting too real, too fast.

After I got dumped, I never got around to telling my best friend. Why relive the pain?

But his New Year's Eve wedding is coming up soon, and I also never got around to removing my ex from the guest list.

Cue my current hookup and Dom-on-demand, Damon Kirk, joking that he could stand in as my ex. A fake name, a fake relationship...

It's a terrible idea. Of course I'm not going to do it.

But when I run into my best friend unexpectedly, I can't bring myself to interrupt his dream wedding, and the little white lie just...

Slips out.

It's only for the wedding. Only for New Year's Eve. One little charade...

I know Damon isn't interested in anything real. I know all those kisses and hugs are just for show. But I still can't help falling under his spell.

I have to remember: after the wedding - and the year - is over, so is our fake relationship.

The clock is ticking down...

But what if our charade isn't just an act?
