Tracy Lorraine
Blurb:

An all-new steamy and angsty billionaire friends to lovers fake engagement romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Tracy Lorraine

Kieran Callahan is every woman’s fantasy—charming billionaire, star running back, and heartbreakingly handsome.

He’s also my best friend.

When my grandmother’s final wish puts me in an impossible situation, I tell the biggest lie of my life:

Kieran and I are engaged.

I planned to tell him the truth—really, I did.

But before I can come clean, a nosy nurse and a sleazy tabloid blow up my little secret.

Now, the media’s in a frenzy, and instead of setting the record straight, my best friend turned fake fiancé agrees to play along. All for Grams.

But spending so much time together blurs the lines we swore we’d never cross. And I’m seeing him in a whole new light.

Suddenly, Kieran isn’t just my best friend. He’s the man who makes my heart race. The one I can’t imagine my life without.

We only have a few days before everything goes back to the way it was…

But what if I don’t want it to?

Dear reader,
By His Play is a standalone fake engagement, friends to lovers romance set in the Callahan Billionaires world.

Review: 4 out of 5 stars

Tracy Lorraine what are you trying to do to me? I don’t do emotional reads and By his Play is a huge red flag in that department. BUT… Kieran and Effie are so good together. Their support structure is great, their chemistry is steaming and the banter is bantering. If this book was written by anyone else I’d have shut it after the first chapter but it’s a Tracy Lorraine book… that’s something I don’t do.

Effie has put her life on hold to spend time with her sick grandmother. To make her happy she tells a little lie. Her gran wants to see her happy so she tells her, Kieran is her future husband. She never thought anyone would find out and it gave her the chance to plan a fake wedding with her gran to give them something to focus on. When a nurse gets ahold of the story, Kieran has some decisions to make. Does he go along with the lie? Does he try to help Effie with what she was trying to achieve? Or maybe he finds a new way to help her escape her sad situation.
