Dean wants to be left alone. Hannah’s a pathological liar.

While photographing lingerie models for a sexy Valentine’s Day photoshoot, Hannah Holliday tells people the grumpy man who owns the hotel they’re shooting at is her boyfriend.

This is news to Dean Harris, her quote-unquote ‘boyfriend’.

Hannah has her reasons, but none of them matter to Dean, reluctant hotelier. He’s busy avoiding his guests and trying not to leer at the tall, freckled boudoir photographer.

As his best friend’s cousin, Hannah’s off limits to Dean, and having the Royal Hotel linked to her boudoir business is a risk he can’t afford.

But before either of them can say tit pic, Dean’s attending a wedding as Hannah’s fake date, and learning how to sext.

The relationship is fake but the horniness is real.

Heart Eyes is a fake-dating, grumpy and sunshine 25,000 word novella with and phone orgasms. It originally appeared in the Valentines in the Vines: Kiwi romance anthology.
