Agreeing to a fake relationship with my brother’s best friend is supposed to fix a stupid mistake and save my career. I’m not supposed to fall for him in the process…

My relationship with Xander is nothing more than a way to ease some of the fallout we’re both experiencing in our careers.

It’s intended to be as harmless as the spontaneous trip we’ve decided to take—an adventure of a lifetime to a tropical island.

It’s the perfect escape to nurse our wounded egos. How can we be stressed with nothing but sunshine and palm trees surrounding us?

At first, our conversations are innocent. Our touches casual. Our glances fleeting.

We aren’t supposed to grow closer.

Or kiss—we definitely aren’t supposed to kiss.

And before I realize it, what I thought would be a regular summer turns into so much more. Right up until our blissful bubble bursts from a dose of reality much stronger than our umbrella cocktails.

Which begs the question… are we a vacation fling, or can we finally make our relationship official?

**Official is a complete stand-alone in the ABCs of Love series where each author delivers a brand-new story for you to rediscover your ABCs.

Excerpt

“When we look back on this moment in fifty years, trapped in a soul-sucking retirement home, don’t we want to be able to say we did something crazy fun instead of bailing on a trip of a lifetime like a couple of suckers?”

I worry my bottom lip, chewing on his proposition like he asked me to move in with him. But it’s only a short vacation, right? To freaking Maui.

Sweet paradise.

Why am I not saying yes?

“Say yes,” Xander pleads, a sparkle in his eye and a pause in his breathing.

“Okay, let’s do it.” Smiling, I spread my arms and realize too late that I’m still holding a full cup of coffee. It spills over the edge, the warm drops splattering across the tops of my feet and the carpet.

“Leave it. You’ll clean up when we get back.” Xander nudges me toward my closet.

“I need to clean that before it sets.” I set the cup on top of a coaster on my nightstand. “Besides, what’s the rush?”

“I already bought us two tickets, and our flight leaves in two and a half hours.”

“We’re not going to make it. Traffic alone will be ridiculous. And I need to pack, cook and eat breakfast, do my yoga and meditation—”

“Grab a swimsuit and your passport. We’ll stop for coffee and bagels on the way. You’ll meditate on the plane. Maui, Sam. Maui.” He whispers the last word, and his lips twitch with similar excitement to the energy fluttering in my chest.

His enthusiasm is infectious.

“Maui,” I repeat, my smile widening.
