It was supposed to be a temporary autumn hookup. Now it's a situation.

When my ex strolls back into town looking good enough to ruin my life twice and claiming he wants me back, I panic and blurt out that I'm seeing someone.

The only man available is Nick Banks, the ex-hockey star with a smirk that should be illegal and commitment issues as legendary as his abs. Surprisingly, he agrees to play along if I help him figure out why his relationships keep going up in flames.

We make rules: fake date without feelings, trade relationship advice, and hook up. For research purposes only. Obviously. It's a temporary arrangement, with the goal of becoming better partners for whoever comes next in our lives.

But the snuggles get cozier and the kisses last longer. Lines blur, and I can't tell what's pretend and what's real. We're having fun, fooling everyone in my small town—and maybe ourselves too.

Then the paparazzi snap pictures of us, and the gossip sites explode. Now I'm fake-dating a billionaire in the headlines while falling for him in real life. And the only thing more terrifying than the spotlight is losing him when autumn ends.

The Hookup Situation is a spicy billionaire rom-com set in autumn with all the cozy fall vibes! It's a stand-alone with a happily ever after but interconnects with the Billionaire Situation world and Fall I Want. Included: a green-flag billionaire hero who falls first and harder for a small-town barista who wants to believe in love again.
