I Think They Love You

By Julian Winters

Book Overview

"Winters's novel blends the feel-good charm of a rom-com with the familiar what-are-you-doing-dude angst of your 20s. Denzel's vibrant family and their event-planning business add delightful depth to this read." - The New York Times, "Love 'Heated Rivalry'? Read These Romance Novels Next"

With his funny, big-hearted adult rom com debut, bestselling, award-winning YA author Julian Winters shows sometimes fake dating your ex can turn into a second chance.

When Denzel "Denz" Carter's workaholic father and CEO of 24 Carter Gold unexpectedly announces his retirement, the competition is on for who will become his successor. To convince his family members that he's capable of commitment, Denz impulsively lies about being in a serious relationship.

Now Denz needs to find a fake boyfriend to seal the deal on the CEO position. Denz is forced to turn to the last person he wants to be in a pretend (or any) relationship with: Braylon, the man who broke his heart.

Braylon's sudden reappearance in Denz's life turns everything upside down. But, apparently, he needs Denz's connections to the mayor to win his own promotion. So, they strike a deal. It's all business until the funny texts and the confusing kisses leave Denz struggling to separate this temporary arrangement from the affairs of his heart.

I Think They Love You is a celebration of love, queer communities, big families--in all their beautiful complications-- healing, and, most importantly, falling in love with the person you're becoming.
