Enemies become lovers in this hot and hilarious marriage of convenience.ย

The Alphahole’s Guide to Marrying The Enemy
by Piper Marlowe
Blurb:
The Brooklyn warehouse is filled with graffiti and pigeon poo. Itโs practically begging to be converted into luxury loft apartments.
And yet, will my mother sell it to me, her only son, the investment wunderkind?
โDarling, buildings have souls,โ she says, between sips of green juice.
โShow me that youโre on the path to spiritual wellness, and Iโll give it to you.โ
Enter Sydney Taylor, my best friendโs little sister, spiritually well enough for even my motherโs past selves to approve of, and my least favorite person on earthโฆin this life or any of the others Iโve supposedly lived. I wouldnโt date her if she was the last woman on earth. Iโve repeatedly fantasized about shipping her to Mars.
Instead, I marry her.
I know, I know, my crew has quite the history with phony relationships, but this oneโs different.
No matter what my mother sees in our auras.
Or how much I want to hate-boink her maddeningly sweet little…
Yep, once my mother signs over that building, Iโm definitely going to walk away from this hot-fakery totally unscathed.
And if you buy that, Iโve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
Fall in love today!

Excerpt:
Love means nothing.
In tennis, that is.ย
Love just means you havenโt scored yet. Keep playing. Keep hitting that ball until you make a winner out of yourself. In tennis, a winner canโt have love.ย
And Iโm a winner. Iโm the one who wins, and wins, and then sleeps with the prom queen. Normal people wish they could walk in my shoes for a few hours, then they feel jealous when they meet me.ย
Iโm a stone-cold winner. Twenty-eight, TriBeCa penthouse, over a billion in the bank, a dick that could choke a giraffe. Women love me, then hate me later on. Thatโs fine, as long as they love me first. Iโve won every single game Iโve ever played. Wellโฆ except this one.
โThatโs the match!โ my mother says, beaming at me from across the court.ย
Fuck, I let that last volley of hers sail right past my head. I glare at the stupid yellow ball as it bounces off the court.ย
Yep. Thatโs the set. Four games to two. At least I didnโt get love though. Thatโd make me a real fucking loser.
โGood job, Maryann,โ I mutter. Mom doesnโt mind that I call her by her first name. She didnโt think it was weird even when I started doing it at six.ย
โChin up, sweetheart.โ My mother walks off the court at my side, beaming as she slides her sunglasses on top of her ageless blond head.ย ย ย ย ย ย
โYou know, you only lost because you never commit to your backhand.โ
โI lost,โ I say, โbecause Sydney Taylor kept distracting me.โ
Honestly, the Kensington Tennis Club is the exact last place I ever thought Sydney fucking Taylor would show her face. Itโs the summer meet-and-greet locale for all of New Yorkโs high society. While Sydney got a membership to that club by being born into one of the richest families on the planet, sheโs never wanted to hang around with any of us โtrust-fund assholes.โ Her term, not mine. Like I said, WASP-y tennis club isnโt her idea of a good time. Iโd have expected her to be building outhouses down in Guatemala or getting into a fist fight with Richard Spencer.ย
Not that Iโd blame her.
But here she is, seated at a table on the patio, shooting me one smug grimace after another. When she catches me staring, she cheerfully flips me off. Then, in case anyone becomes shocked by her unladylike display, she uses her middle finger to scratch her forehead.ย
Classy save, Syd.ย
I fucking hate her, and the feelingโs mutual.

Author Info:
Piper Marlowe is an absolute legend, if you know where to look. And trust us, you donโt.
For national security reasons, her identity is a secret. As a matter of fact, thereโs a good chance that at this very moment, sheโs undercover, speaking with a bad Lithuanian accent to a bunch of shady characters. She can neither confirm nor deny that sheโs writing ultra-fun, uber-witty, hot-darn-sexy romance to distract from the stress of her current clandestine operation.
Or maybe romance writing is the cover for a cover?
She could tell you, but then sheโd have to . . . you know. That.
