Gabe isn't a werewolf. He just plays one on TV. Jess isn't a guy magnet. She just writes teen romance.

TV heartthrob Gabriel Wade has never met a party he couldn't rock, a problem he couldn't dodge, or a crowd he couldn't play. Shy, homeschooled Jessica Thorne has never met a party she couldn't wallflower, a problem she couldn't stress over, or a crowd she couldn't escape.

But they both know what it's like to lose someone . . . someone who's still here.

After a hotel escalator dumps Jess into Gabe's spotlight and he unknowingly hijacks her first kiss, he decides she'll be the perfect decoy for the paparazzi. If he can convince her to play his "girlfriend of the week." Keeping the impossible promise he made to his mom depends on it. Except Jess wants nothing to do with TV's Hottest Hairball or his Hollywood ego. And by the time she figures out he isn't who she thought, it might be too late to say she needs him as much as he needs her. Even if he wants her for real.

For fans of Kasie West, Jenny Han, Katie McGarry, and Sarah Dessen, The Accidental Boyfriend is more than just a romance. It's the story of what happens when two very different people are thrown together only to discover they're both struggling to figure out who they are and how to navigate a loss they didn't plan.
