No More Horrible Dates (High Tea Book 3): A romantic comedy of love, friendship . . . and tea (Friends & Forevers)

Ever been stuck in a fake romance with the human embodiment of your “Nope, Never” list?

Here I am, enmeshed a love charade with none other than Nick Zachary, New Zealand’s “wild boy of rugby” himself. Player on field and off, Nick’s the last person I’d ever date in a million years.

But you see an opportunity presented itself for me to pretend to be in a relationship with the guy to repair his tarnished rep. Why do such a crazy thing? While I’m being photographed on his arm I can raise the profile of my fledgling fashion designs. That’s why. Smart, right?

It’s a win-win—if I can stomach the public PDAs with a guy with more abs than brain matter.

And then the plot twist lands. As if playing make-believe with Nick isn't challenging enough, enter the transformation nobody saw coming—ours. Spending time in Nick's orbit reveals a side to him that doesn't scream “stay away” in bold lettering. In fact, the man behind the image isn’t what I expected at all, and I find myself catching feelings. Yep, you heard it right. Erin Andrews, committed jock avoider, is turning into a heart-eyed emoji around the country’s answer to Casanova.

But which version is the real Nick? Is the guy who holds my hand the same one splashed across tabloids in compromising poses?

In the end, I'll need to unravel this romantic enigma faster than a rugby scrum, all while trying to keep my sanity—and my heart—intact.




No Horrible Bad Dates is a fun, heart-warming enemies to lovers rom com for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Bridget Jones's Diary, and Lindsey Kelk, and TV shows like Jane the Virgin. It's a full length novel and can be read as a stand-alone title.
