Wishing for Champagne Kisses

Best friends don’t kiss.

Ryan Manning has been my best friend since we were kids. He’s my secret keeper. The holder of all my truths and the person I admire most in the world. He’s also a lumbersnack and the man I’ve secretly pined after for decades.

But we don’t talk about that.

I’m just here in Lake Tahoe for the next week to play the part of his doting girlfriend. Cuddle up in front of his ex? Not a problem. Hold hands in front of his family? Totally fine. Kiss him while no one is watching? I’m your gal.

As a rule, you definitely shouldn’t kiss your best friend. It’s a good thing I don’t follow the rules.

Author's Note: Wishing for Champagne Kisses features fan favorite Tessa from the Falling for Whiskey duet and Bartender Shawn from Love & Tequila Make Her Crazy. It is a fake dating, best friends to lovers, stand-alone steamy novella.
