Prerequisites For Love (Sample Chapters Only) by maiafarkas
5 parts Complete Mature
No one warned me that "fake it till you make it" cliché can lead to a heartbreak. Kara Farrington has a perfect life: she has a boyfriend her parents love, the money to buy Prada shoes, and a friend who loves shopping with her. Except, Kara has grown indifferent toward her boyfriend, doesn't care much about her parents' money, and hates shopping. Her motto is "fake it till you make it," and it's been doing her just fine, even if "perfect" doesn't actually mean "happy." When Kara receives birthday gifts full of betrayal and heartache, her perfect life begins to crumble. All Kara wants is to continue her grandpa's legacy by joining the family law business to help those less fortunate. Gramps is Kara's role model, and after she graduates from college, she wants to use the power of law to help people. But with her anxiety, stage fright, and well-practiced faux life, convincing her parents she's ready for the pre-law track seems impossible. Her parents have a different plan for her-marry someone who meets their prerequisites for love. Kara's parents give her an ultimatum: they'll continue paying for college and let her work in the family law business after Kara brings home a guy who fits their mold. Desperate, Kara begs Dean Sawyer, a renowned playboy in school, to be her fake boyfriend for the semester. Dean is secretive and averse to a serious relationship, and he's everything her parents wouldn't approve of, but confident Dean can smooth-talk anyone. Even Kara. As their charade progresses, their chemistry grows, and Kara has to keep herself from falling for swoon-worthy, secret-keeping Dean. After all, how can two people living a lie ever truly experience love? Soon, Kara must choose: accept her true self and risk heartbreak, or keep faking it till she gets everything she's worked for. Some scenes deal with sensitive topics some may find triggering. Happily-ever-after is guaranteed.
