Althea Lathan is your typical doctor with absolutely no time for a love life. Her schedule is so demanding that even her friends and family have given up trying to keep up with her. So when her mother calls with news that her younger sister, Angel, is getting married, Althea isn't exactly thrilled. The family is expected to come together for the celebration, but Althea could hardly care less-especially since she and Angel have never gotten along. Their childhood rivalry never faded, and even as adults, they haven't made the slightest effort to mend their relationship. To make matters worse, Angel never misses a chance to mock Althea for being single.
Determined not to give her sister any more ammunition, Althea turns to her best friend for help. The solution? Hire someone to play the role of her boyfriend for a week. Her friend finds a man willing to take on the job-but what starts as a simple arrangement quickly gets complicated when he begins to catch real feelings for Althea.
Now the question is: will Althea let down her guard and open her heart, or is she only using him to save face in front of her family?

TheFriendshipAwards 3rd place winner (2017) *** I take a deep breath and say flatly, "What I'm about to tell you is very important. It's called the Angel Rule." Everyone raises a questioning eyebrow at me, "The Angel Rule?" I nod, "Yes. It's something we all need to follow, no matter what. It's like any other rule. If you break it, there are consequences." "What's the rule, Emma?" "There are three concepts to this rule. One, don't blink. Two, don't turn your head, and three, don't look away. If you break any of these three rules, you're dead." *** Emma Rose Santana has recently moved into a small town with her family for a better life despite the ongoing relationship problems in the family. When Emma's mother, Anna, purchases a lifelike angel statue with a cursed reputation from Silverside High's golden boy, Mason Geller's garage sale, things take a horrible turn in the Santana family. Emma and her sister, Clarice, start witnessing strange occurrences in their house, from the angel statue changing locations to horrible nightmares that feel all too real. On the other hand, Emma faces a conflicting relationship between Mason Geller and his mysteriously handsome ex-best friend, Josh Price, with a dark past possibly related to the angel statue.
