Welcome to Litsy!

They�re pretending. Until they aren�t. Thomas McKinney has never wanted a woman the way he wants Callie Adesso. Since she started working alongside him at the Colonial Marysburg Research Library, he�s spent his desk shifts fumbling pencils, tripping over his own feet, and struggling to remember both the Dewey Decimal System and the existence of her inconvenient boyfriend. Now, however, Callie is suddenly single�and in need of a last-minute faux-boyfriend for an episode of HATV�s Island Match. Thomas is more than happy to play the part�and in the process, convince Callie that a week together isn�t nearly long enough. Callie has never found a man as irritating as she finds Thomas. He may be brilliant, kind, and frustratingly handsome, but the absent-minded librarian also makes every workday an anxiety-inducing exercise in stress. Even seven days in paradise by his side won�t change her opinion of him. Really. No matter how attentive he is. And gentle. And sexy. One plane ride later, the two of them are spending long, hot days under the sun and on display, pretending to be in love for a television show. This may be a vacation, but it�s also an act�as well as Thomas�s last chance to persuade the woman of his dreams to include him in hers. And soon, the island heat isn�t the only thing steaming up HATV�s cameras� Title: Desire and the Deep Blue Sea Author: Olivia Dade Series and series number: Love Unscripted, Book 1 Fake relationship, romantic comedy, curvy girl romance, workplace romance, vacation romance, reality television romance, banter, librarians
