SHORT NOVEL

Borrowed for One Night

Drama · Romance

Tess only wants her ex to see that someone else has finally chosen her. Borrowing her best friend Mara's engagement ring seems harmless enough. She will wear it for one evening. She will put it back before anyone notices. For a little while, the lie feels wonderful. Then the ring disappears. Mara's wedding is days away, Ben wants answers, and Cal wants to know whether anything Tess told him was true. Tess is ready to do almost anything to make things right. Every attempt changes what she can keep, and whom she can trust.
