Get married? Um… Check?

Enter Bennett Forrester.

My best friend's older brother is gorgeous, a huge flirt, and always in the wrong place at the right time when it comes to catching me in my most humiliating moments. So I'm not surprised that he's there when my wedding falls apart just as the cameras are showing up.

I am surprised when he offers to marry me instead.

Now we're in the wilderness, challenging everything nature—and a ratings-hungry producer—throws at us, all while pretending to be madly in love for the cameras. Piece of cake. (What I wouldn't give for cake out here.)

Okay, this is the hardest thing I've ever done.

Especially with Bennett looking at me in a way he never has before. And his touch, lighting a fire in me I've never felt before. He has no idea what he's doing to me.

I just have to remember it's all for the cameras. He's completely off-limits.

I cannot fall for my husband.

Because this show is going to end eventually (one way or another), and I won't let my heart be broken again.

Charlie and Her Sweet Escape is a closed-door, best friend's older brother, marriage of convenience romcom.
