The Prequel Boyfriend

Everyone knows Bram Jackson is the boyfriend you date before your happily ever after . . . But what happens when the prequel turns out to be the real love story? A feel-good YA romance packed with fake dating, slow-burn swoons and unexpected chemistry, for fans of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and Never Have I Ever.

Stella Guzman’s life is going perfectly to plan . . . until one cupcake-related disaster and a very public breakup make her the punchline of her high school year group. Desperate to win back Aaron, she turns to Bram Jackson – notorious heartbreaker, her ex’s biggest rival and, according to his dating history, the guy girls date right before they find true love.

But Stella doesn’t want someone new. She wants Aaron back. And if dating his enemy makes her ex jealous? Even better. What Stella doesn’t know is that Bram has an ulterior motive of his own.
For both of them, the rules are simple: use each other, get what they want and walk away. That’s until their dates start feeling dangerously real, and neither can remember exactly when they stopped pretending not to care.

Bram was only ever supposed to be the boyfriend before the happily ever after. But what if he’s the one Stellas been waiting for all along . . . ?
