Especially not to the best guy ever because he doesn't deserve to get hurt like that. Marco and I have a perfectly functional arrangement. We do whatever we feel like, but we never ever become boyfriends. It's just safer to separate a relationship from having fun with each other. And, as we find ourselves on a romantic - and fake - honeymoon, I start to ask myself: have we been dating all along? Marco Stefan made me promise never to fall in love with him. And the thing about me is that I always keep a promise. We have a deal; we fool around, but we don't let our feelings get involved. And it's better that way.

Except, having to spend a week with him in the most romantic place on the planet is making all the lines blurry. Are we just messing around like we always do or is there something more?

The more I think, the more I see: this marriage is a total joke. The Accidental Honeymoon Catastrophe is the fifth novel in the Frat Brats of Santa Barbara series. While it can be read on its own, it's just more fun to read them in order. Dive into a world of pining, steamy accidents, and two best friends who are perfect for each other, but refuse to see it

So, when the mischievous wannabe matchmaker of a professor forces me into a project with none other than Tate, I seriously consider dropping out.

He's also hot as hell and knows it, which makes him infinitely more annoying. And if that's not enough, my stepmother is spending the last of my late dad's fortune on her two sons and I have to study every waking moment to keep my scholarship.
