About The Plus-One Pact: A Fake Dating Brother’s Best Friend Romance by Hailey Brooks
A clean, closed-door contemporary romance. FREE on Amazon Kindle June 6-10, 2026.
One week. One lake house. One very fake relationship.
My sister’s wedding was supposed to be the easy part. Then my family started asking why I’m still single, and I panicked and said I had a boyfriend. I don’t. What I have is Jack — my brother’s best friend, the one man who’s been off-limits my entire life.
So we made a pact. Five days pretending to be in love. Hold hands at the rehearsal dinner, smile for the photos, survive the toasts. No feelings. No complications. No one gets hurt.
The trouble is, Jack is a better fake boyfriend than anyone I’ve ever actually dated. The way he looks at me on the dock at midnight doesn’t feel like pretend. And every time my brother walks into the room, I remember exactly why this can never be real.
Five days. That was the deal.
Nobody said anything about what happens after.
A swoony, closed-door fake-dating romance with a slow burn, a meddling family, and a happily-ever-after worth waiting for. No cheating, no cliffhangers, guaranteed HEA. Clean and closed-door throughout.
