'Fake-dating goodness filled with delicious tension' Lana Ferguson, author of The Nanny
Elias Westbrook, a newly drafted hockey player for the Toronto Thunder, is facing the challenges of fame and media scrutiny. The tabloids are reporting on his every move, including which woman he was last seen with, but all he wants to do is escape the spotlight.
Enter from stage left Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina whose lack of popularity online has put her at a major disadvantage for securing the roles she dreams of. When Sage finds herself with the chance to change her luck by fake-dating Elias, she takes her shot.
Soon enough, the flimsy rules they set in place fall away. But before things can spiral out of control, Sage and Elias will have to decide if they're willing to take the leap together or if they'll have to call it quits.
'Bal Khabra is a master of swoon, and lovable characters. I dare you to try and read one of her novels in more than one sitting - they're simply unputdownable.' Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb

International Shipping
We offer international shipping to the following countries: New Zealand and other countries upon request.
New Zealand options are preprogrammed on the website, you don’t need to contact us for those unless you want over 6 books.
Other countries are done by request due to COVID-19 restrictions, delays and prices. Just send an email to (britt@fictionandfriction.com.au) with the books you’re interested in (they must be in stock) along with your address including your country. Once those details are received, we will let you know if they can be shipped to your address and a shipping quote. You’re under no obligation to order once you know the price. I understand how insane the international shipping prices are.
If you do not contact Fiction & Friction prior to placing an order you'll be billed for the excess shipping cost. You're welcome to email and ask for the order to be cancelled if it's too expensive. There has been an influx of international orders using the wrong shipping options at the check out. If you'd like to go through with the order you just need to pay the excess shipping. If you'd like to cancel just let us know.
