{"product_id":"2940157471422","title":"Thank You For Holding","description":"Having it all is a fantasy, right?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarrie Shelton thought her boyfriend was too good to be true. Her best friend's brother? A guy who loved antiquing? Who cuddled on the couch while watching foodie YouTube clips and talking about artisanal spices? Who helped her accessorize her outfits?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRight. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFantasy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo when he ran off with Kevin, the owner of an antique shop, right before his sister's wedding, Carrie's life went from fantasy to nightmare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs maid of honor, she can't back out of the wedding. And her ex is the best man - but now he has his own best man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe needs a date. Stat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnter Ryan. Sure, he's a hot male stripper at the O Spa where she works as junior designer, but he's a few years younger and just, you know -- a friend. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfect. She needs a friend more than she needs a boyfriend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA weekend of playing her boyfriend so she can save face is a lot to ask, but for some reason Carrie doesn't understand, Ryan's all in. Enthusiastic, even.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEspecially when it comes to physical displays of affection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublic kisses turn to private confessions, and pretty soon, Carrie can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause if Ryan's just pretending he's in love with her, then why does the chemistry between them -- and between the sheets -- feel so real?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarrie can't settle for almost, though. She's already done that. She's not putting her life on hold anymore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurns out Ryan won't, either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe's holding out for more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank You For Holding is a STANDALONE in the On Hold series. You do not need to have read book 1 in the series, but after reading about Carrie and Ryan's friends-to-lovers adventure, you'll want to. ;)","brand":"Prosaic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075267018992,"sku":"2940157471422","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157471422_p0.jpg?v=1764108859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157471422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
