Going for Two

Welcome Back to Camellia, LA Loren Reed is a sucker for a good romance trope-it's why she returned to Camellia High to teach English lit. Unfortunately, a shallow dating pool, lousy parents, and an overbearing older brother have put a damper on her love life. She's thirty years old with nothing to show for it: no rom-com meet cutes, no cinnamon-roll MMCs, no sexy slow burns, and still no prospects. Well, except for Blake Bourgeois, her childhood academic rival. A former homecoming king turned volunteer football coach and small-town lawyer, he's also known as Camellia's most charming, handsome, and witty perpetual bachelor. Even with Blake's unspoken three-date rule, there's still a waitlist to get a peek at his spicy abs. But Blake has a secret-one only Loren knows. Long before he became "Blake the Snake," he was "The Other Bourgeois," the one left feeling second best to his younger brother. And who better to validate his bro complex than Landry Reed's baby sister? While Loren may be the only woman privy to the man behind Blake's overconfident mask, the two have never been able to figure out their own relationship. Are they friends or enemies? Allies or lovers? It's a good thing Loren's too smart to fall for the kind of guy whose name garners a reaction from women across the Mississippi River, regardless of how swoon-worthy he might be or how many times he satisfies her peanut-butter fix. She refuses to waste her quirky sunshine on balancing Blake's grumpy facade-until they're forced into close proximity, making it too difficult to ignore their undeniable chemistry. Then a risky two-point conversion is all it takes to rock their frenemy-ship and change things between them forever. Suddenly, they're fake-dating friends without benefits, and the lines have become too blurry to make out whether Blake's falling first or Loren's falling harder. Now that Blake's values have shifted, will it be enough for Loren to take him seriously? And is she as ready for a happily ever after as she thinks? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Going for Two is the second novel of Marie Veillon's Camellia Rom-Com Series. This minty romance also includes Cajun and Catholic themes.
