*This episode is brought to you by two of Kensington’s newest titles, Romancing the Rancher by Kate Pearce and The Spanish Daughter by Lorena Hughes. The Novel: Just for ShowThe Author: Julie HamiltonThe Guest: Beth Cranford, Verve Romance Content Coordinator The Synopsis: #TwitterBae forever…They'll fake a relationship for the social media exposure, but can they be more than a hashtag?Here's how things are going so far for me in Chicago:1) Messed up my attempt at asking out the gorgeous woman next to me on the plane.2) Couldn't catch up to her at O'Hare.3) I'm hoping she finds me on Twitter.4) Maybe if she sees this, we can split another cheese plate sometime.It doesn't take long for Luke Murphy's tweet to go viral. So it also doesn't take long to reconnect with Audrey. Nailed it. But at what cost? His network has put his whole career as a TV home renovations carpenter on the line. A midair meet cute is exactly what they want.After recovering from the shock, Audrey Whitaker can see the benefits of faking a relationship for social media exposure. She'll get the publicity to launch her photography business—her lifelong dream—and she'll get to spend time with a man who can, as his fans say, "really fill out a plaid shirt."Luke and Audrey agree to spend the summer together to get what they each need, then say goodbye. And to keep it professional, they'll follow all the rules…except the "no kissing" one. And maybe the "no sex" one, too! But with so much on the line, they definitely can't fall in love.
