Lola's got a plan.
Finding out your boyfriend is cheating on you is horrible. Knowing it's with your best friend is heartwrenching. But Lola's got a plan.
Before she can execute it though, André, the lying, cheating scum of the earth, breaks up with her.
Enter Tayo Adeyemi.
One if not the best centerman in high school hockey, and André's rival. Plus, he's her ticket to getting revenge.
If only he'd agree.
To Tayo, everything else pales in comparison to Hockey. Well, except his nana. He lives, breathes and eats hockey.
And he's making his family, especially his nana, proud. Too bad. All she cares about is getting her grandson in a relationship.
Getting into a fake relationship wasn't part of his plan, but any chance to make his nana proud, he'd take it.
But everyone knows that fake dating is just a ploy to get two people perfect for each other to realise their feelings.
Can Lola and Tayo keep their hearts to themselves in this fake relationship? Or would everything fake turn real as they continue this game?

Best Served Fake
"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]Complete

Venomous Empire (A dark college hockey romance)
October 30DC GOLD - Sticker Coming Soon! Rule #1 of lying low at Kingsmore University: Don't flirt with the hockey captain. Don't make eye contact. And definitely don't get into a fake relationship with him. Honestly, just avoid him entirely. Too bad Aaron Varenko doesn't do subtle. And for the record, I don't do relationships. But the moment our eyes locked that first day on campus, the plot twist started writing itself. I was hoping to be a side character, preferably one who stays out of trouble and off-page. Too late. But, when a certain psycho from my past turns up, Aaron makes me an offer I couldn't refuse: "Let him think you're mine and he won't touch you." Totally logical right?🙄 The problem? He's a little too good at pretending. And I'm a little too good at forgetting it's not real. Now the lines are blurring and the secrets I worked so hard to bury are coming back to life. And Aaron might be the only person who can save me...or completely break me.
