Until You Say Stay

A Small Town, Fake Dating Romance (The Midnight Men, Book 2)

He's the reckless Formula One driver with a viral scandal. She's the bartender-musician afraid to take the stage. Fake dating was supposed to be simple. Falling for each other was never part of the deal.

Jack Midnight returns to Dark River with his racing career on the line. One viral scandal has his sponsor doubting him and his future in Formula One slipping away. Lark Reyes bartends at The Black Lantern while building her music career online.

She's finally caught a label's attention, but they need proof she can build a massive social media presence before they'll sign her. When Lark's ex shows up and threatens an awkward scene, Jack intervenes, claiming to be her boyfriend. What starts as a rescue sparks a deal: fake date through summer. His followers boost her music, her presence repairs his reputation. Come September, they walk away clean.

But the more they play the part, the harder it gets to separate performance from reality. He's not supposed to care this much. She's not supposed to let anyone this close. They're lying to the world about their relationship, but the biggest lie might be the one they're telling themselves.

And September's approaching like a finish line neither of them wants to cross. Until You Say Stay is a steamy contemporary romance featuring fake dating, sizzling banter, and the kind of electric chemistry that'll keep you captivated—the next addictive installment in The Midnight Men series.

Wow

I honestly didn’t think the second book could top the first but wow, I was so wrong. This one completely blew me away. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in just two days. Absolutely amazing from start to finish!

When the 1st book was good, but the 2nd book was better....

I LOVED this book! The final chapter had my heart bursting and teary eyed! I never cry, but it was just such a sweet HEA. I just wish we could have heard some of Lark's actual lyrics.

The performance was so great. Loved both narrators.

Really enjoying this series.
