COUNTERFEIT BOYFRIEND by Cindi MadsenGenre: Contemporary Romance
My twin brother’s talked me into a lot of crazy things, but taking his place on a road trip with his girlfriend so he can party with his friends is a whole new level of insanity.What’s even more insane is I somehow find myself agreeing to it—thanks, alcohol, guilt, and bribery. I’m determined to undo the arrangement, but then I meet Gwen, this sexy redheaded hurricane of energy and brains. And then she kisses me. Just like that, I’m driving her up the coast, on our way to a wedding with a mess of complications.
With each hour and each stop, I’m falling harder and harder for a woman who doesn’t know my actual name. I’m trying to do the right thing.
Or the lesser of the wrong things. All my life I’ve had to clean up my brother’s messes, but for the first time ever, I’ve landed the upper hand in one of our switcheroo schemes.
Now I’ve just got to come clean and convince Gwen that I’m the brother she should be with.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
I peeled back the covers and sheet and helped
her into bed. Her red hair splayed out on the pillow, a stark contrast to the
white. Man, she was pretty. Considering she’d told the hotel clerk that she was
taking advantage of me, she was also slightly delusional.
“Evan?”
It stung every time she used my brother’s
name. But again, no one to blame but myself. “Yeah?”
“Come cuddle with me. My eyes don’t need to
be open for that, and it’ll help me fall asleep. Right now I’m in that weird
in-between phase.” Her words came out slurred and sluggish. “Like I can’t fully
relax even as the medication is trying to pull me under, so I’m just in limbo.
I hate limbo.”
The oxygen drained from my lungs. I didn’t
know if I could be as strong as I needed to be if I crawled into that bed.
Her arm swung out, sweeping the air until she
made contact with my wrist. I could’ve easily resisted the tug, but I didn’t
want to.
“Just a sec,” I said.
“Did you say sex?”
I bit back a groan—she wasn’t going to make
this easy. I kicked off my shoes, considered taking off my jeans and then
decided that’d only ensure my failure to behave, and climbed in next to her.
Rustling came from her side, and the next
thing I knew, she’d thrown her bra and shorts out of the bed, leaving her in
only her shirt and… I resisted looking, even though it was all I could think
about.
I wasn’t Superman; I was a fucking saint.
My sainthood was tested when she snuggled up
to me, resting her head on my shoulder and hooking her leg over both of mine.
Having her next to me was the sweetest kind of torture. Her warm breath hit my
neck a mere moment before her soft lips.
She was definitely initiating, and I was
definitely turned on. But I was also definitely shutting it down. Since I
didn’t want to hurt her feelings, especially after that ridiculous comment
about being disappointed, I gently shifted, pulling her back against my front.
I couldn’t do much about the hard-on. Her ass was right there. A choked noise
escaped my mouth as she wiggled against me.
Taking shallow, tempered sips of air, I
dragged my fingertips over her arm and back up. Over her shoulder and down her
spine.
Her breathing slowed; mine quickened.
Her body relaxed; mine tensed.
She let go and let sleep take her; I clung on
to consciousness, soaking in the way she felt in my arms.
Hadn’t I already accepted the fact that I was
going to hell for this? Paving my way with every stolen look, kiss, and touch?
I settled my hand on her hip and kissed the
back of her head.
If so, let me burn.
