Someone to Build Me Up is a lighthearted fake-dating MLM romance (and it's also pretty sexy, if my betas and my instincts are to be believed 😉). Here's the summary...

When heartbreak leaves you crushed, love can make you strong again.

Reeling from a breakup, English professor Zack Carter is trying to pull himself together for his sister's wedding. His recovery includes hiring sexy, snarky, and multi-talented Marcus Berens as his personal trainer. When Zack finds out his ex has chosen his former bully as her wedding date, Marcus agrees to play the role of Zack's boyfriend. But despite a shared love of theater, neither of them are good at pretending their feelings are just an act.

And yes, I'm aware this is the most basic music ever. You can blame our beloved Zack Carter for that and then thank him for something you can play for the gen x and millennial auncle-types in your life.

And of course, there's a little angst from Marcus, because Misery Business starts playing in his head every time he sees Candace.

I'm cranky enough trying to use Canva and all the various business suites I've sold my soul to that now I have to share these on every single platform out of spite.

I mean haaaaaaaaayyyyyyy buy my book! 😂😂😂

When you fall on your face and your hot trainer fusses over you.

"Your leg has bruised quite badly,” he murmurs, not letting go as he examines the angry purple and red mark there from when I bashed it on the box yesterday.

"Pain pays the income of each precious thing.” Now I'm quoting Shakespeare—just because his hand is on me and, again, he is not letting go.

I feel like I'm suspended in time as it continues to rest there, and his gaze wanders up from the bruise to my eyes.

Maybe it's an optical illusion, but I swear he's leaning toward me.

A low angst MM fake dating romance with medium-high heat.
