Never with You: Always Say Never, Book 1

About this book

Carly Catterson has a simple rule: never date a coworker again. After a humiliating public breakup in her previous job, she is determined to keep her professional and personal lives strictly separate. However, her new workplace is home to Nate Farnsworth, an infuriatingly charming rival who tests her resolve every single day. When Nate desperately needs a fake girlfriend to satisfy his parents and Carly needs a way to make her ex-boyfriend jealous, they strike a mutually beneficial deal. The arrangement is straightforward—fake dates, staged hand-holding, and zero real feelings. But as their pretend relationship continues, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. Carly discovers that Nate is far kinder and funnier than she ever imagined, and their sizzling chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. Adding to the complication is a mysterious, anonymous pen pal who has been Carly’s confidant for months—someone who truly understands her heart. With the fake dating contract nearing its end and a long-awaited meeting with her pen pal approaching, Carly faces a difficult choice. She must decide whether to break her own rule and risk everything for Nate or walk away from the man who knows her best.
