Grumpy-Sunshine Rom-Com for Virtual Companionship

When the girl next door is a sunshine and you're the grumpiest of grumps with two metal legs—along with a big secret, what happens?

Berg Cyrano didn't intend to deceive Roxanne Edmonds when she moved into the duplex beside him. He had been coerced into sending fake emails and texts to people through his buddy's company, Unreal Match, because his good friend Chris can handle the phone calls, but Berg's writing skills are subpar. Surprisingly, people paid good money for this service—to have a fake boyfriend or girlfriend send them messages and call them.

Roxie suggested she might need a boyfriend to fend off a persistent coworker, and Berg, without mentioning his involvement with Unreal Match, foolishly suggested she sign up with the company. Now, he has fallen hard for her, but she remains unaware of his deception.

Why is her fake boyfriend so intriguing in emails and texts, yet just a funny friend during phone calls? It doesn't matter, for Roxie is determined to pull Berg out of his shell, even if it kills them both. Her silent-but-sexy retired Marine didn't catch her blatant hints in the beginning, but Berg is slowly starting to come around. However, he seems to be keeping something from her. Perhaps she'll ask her fake boyfriend for advice on how to handle that.

Virtually Your Girl is a quirky contemporary romance novel with a happily ever after, no cheating, and a sexy-sweet heat level. If you enjoy Cyrano de Bergerac retellings, battle-scarred soldiers, flirty banter, brooding emails and texts, and a grumpy-sunshine relationship that will melt your heart, you'll love this book. It also features a story involving chickens in the desert, in case you're a fan of poultry overcoming trying circumstances.

If you relish romances that break your heart before healing it, moments that make you laugh loud enough to scare your pet, and, of course, a happily ever after, you'll adore Virtually Your Girl, a contemporary rom-com novel. This book was originally published in the anthology, Virtually Yours, under the name "Lip Service" and was a novella. That anthology was available for a limited time and is no longer accessible.
