Are you a fan of Faking It? Here's the other side of the story...Is this your introduction to Devin and Andi? Settle in for a one-of-a-kind love story...As an escort, Devin has it all-an upscale loft in Manhattan, an extensive art collection, a hefty bank account, and an endless stream of satisfied female clients. But when writing professor Andi Cutrone proposes a unique arrangement-lessons in sex from him in exchange for lessons in writing from her-he eagerly accepts, intrigued with Andi's direct manner and obvious intellect.Soon, however, Devin discovers he got more than he bargained for with an arrangement he says is all business but increasingly becomes something else entirely. The more time Devin spends with Andi, the more he realizes he wants out of the escort business-and, more than that, he wants her. But just as he's about to cut the cord, Devin's estranged father reveals not only that he has cancer but also that financial troubles are threatening his parents' home. Devin's only chance to make peace with his father and secure his mother's future is to keep doing the one thing they despise, and to keep Andi at arm's length, even as he longs to hold on to her forever. Elisa Lorello's Faking It books have been worldwide bestsellers. Now, she's brought all of the passion of the original to this, its companion novel. With Faked Out, readers will feel like it's their first time all over again.

Fans of the international bestselling Faking It, Ordinary World, and She Has Your Eyes have a new love story to sink their hearts into with this delightful spinoff.Wylie Baker is like almost every other suburban sophomore: she texts with her best friends Roxanne and "Bottsy," is impatient to escape the doldrums of high school, and yearns for a boyfriend. But when Wylie's recently discovered biological father David and his wife, Andi, show up to her '80s-themed Sweet Sixteen costume party, her friends are intrigued by and attracted to the mystery man dressed as a British pop star. Wylie's resistance to dish on him prompts her rival, Christina, to dig up the dirt on her own.A clash with Christina sends Wylie to detention, where she meets Clark Anderson, a cute senior clad in leather jacket and graphic T-shirts, who charms his teachers and takes an instant interest in Wylie. Smart and well read, he insists that they abandon their smartphones for pen and paper. Every correspondence draws them closer, until they are holding hands underneath the desks and stealing kisses in the park. While Christina makes life increasingly difficult for Wylie in and out of school, Wylie's deepening relationship with David and Andi makes trouble for her parents, Janine and Peter, and her sister, Trish. Everyone seems to be hiding something-Clark's inability to let go of his ex-girlfriend, Roxanne and Bottsy's conflicting love interests, and David's reluctance to come clean about his past-and Wylie spins in the whirlpool of it all. Clark's pending graduation threatens Wylie, her impulses threaten all of her relationships, and Christina's revelation about David threatens to blow everything apart. Wylie's only solace may be in the power of the written word.
