It wasn’t shy librarian Lola McBride's idea to crash someone else’s high school reunion.

“If you’re not Kelli Martindale, who exactly are you? And why lie?”
Then the whole story came tumbling out.
“The thing is, my boyfriend broke up with me last week, and I’ve been kinda bummed
about it. So my roommate had this crazy, stupid idea. She thought I should have some fun
by coming here and crashing the reunion.”
about it. So my roommate had this crazy, stupid idea. She thought I should have some fun
by coming here and crashing the reunion.”
Luke blinked. “You didn’t graduate with me?”
“No, not technically.”
“Are you even a librarian?”
“Yes, that’s one hundred percent true. Oh God, are you going to tell?”
“Depends. I have one more question for you.” He’d made his voice as serious as he could.
“What’s your real name?”
“What’s your real name?”
Her shoulders dropped in relief. “Lola. Lola McBride.”
“Anything else I should know?”
“I’m twenty-six. I don’t usually do things like this.” She took a deep breath.
“I’m clean, neat, and I can bake a pretty good chocolate cake. I say I’m going to a
body pump class at the gym sometimes, but really, I go to Target and buy a bunch of
useless stuff from the dollar bins.”

“I love to read. My favorite book is Wuthering Heights, although I read every genre of
fiction. Especially romance novels.” She blushed. “I mean, not the super dirty ones.”
A wrinkle formed on her forehead. “Okay, I read the super dirty ones too. I love them.
Don’t judge me. But I also donate to the local animal shelter. And I’m afraid of colonial people.
I’m totally boring, really.”

Luke didn’t have the answers to the universe but he did know that boring was something
that Lola McBride wasn’t.

“You must think I’m insane.”
Quite the opposite. He hadn’t met many women like her, and he was curious as hell.
He was about to say so when his phone started vibrating again. He saw another text message.

This one was from his sister, Gwen. Mom said you are bringing a date to our reunion. True?
False?
False?
False. I’m not bringing anyone.
Oh well. I have this friend I’d love to fix you up with….
“Sorry. It’s my crazy family.”
It was official—his family was driving him mad. Why couldn’t they just back off? It was
bad enough that he was going to have to go to his family reunion next weekend, but to have
this kind of pressure about a date…

That’s when an idea started to form. He eyed Lola. She was clutching her basket of
Jane Austen books against her chest, looking nervous. Did she really think he cared
that she’d lied and crashed his high school reunion? He actually thought it was pretty funny.

“I’m really sorry I lied to you,” she said. She glanced down at the basket. “I know
I’m taking this basket away from someone who actually went to school here and…”

“Here’s the deal, Lola,” he said, interrupting her. “I won’t reveal your identity tonight.
You can keep your Jane Austen basket and no one will be the wiser.”

She blew out a sigh of relief. “Really? Ohmigod, you’re amazing.”
“But you have to do me a favor in return.”
“Anything.”
He flipped his phone over in his hands. “Come to my family reunion next weekend and
be my pretend girlfriend.”
