In this hilariously spicy romance, a librarian and an ex-NFL player fake a relationship to get over their first loves.

“Funny, smart, and spicy!” —Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Say You’ll Remember Me

Librarian Marcela Ortiz has been secretly in love with her best friend for years—and when he gets engaged, she knows it’s long past time to move on. But before she gets the chance, she has a bigger problem to contend with in the form of Theo Young, ex-NFL player and older brother of the man she’s in love with.

When she discovers Theo’s plans to confess his feelings for his brother’s fiancée at their engagement party, Marcela is quick to stop him—despite how tempting it is to let him run away with the bride-to-be. She convinces Theo to sleep off his drunken almost-mistake at her place—and the next day, everyone assumes they hooked up. Since they both need a cover, they decide to roll with the lie.

Until one late night at a bar, they take it a step further and discover a layer of attraction neither realized existed. Soon, they find themselves exploring the simmering chemistry between them. Their rebound is working … maybe a little too well.

Librarians in Love

"Funny, smart, and spicy!"
Abby Jimenez, New York Times Best Selling Author
"Palpable tension. Charming characters who self-reflect. Laugh out loud moments. A plot with so many emotional layers. The Next Best Fling has absolutely everything I want in a romance book. Bravo."
Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author
"Sweet and funny, with just the right amount of spice, Gabriella Gamez’s delightful debut is everything you can want in a romance."
Farrah Rochon, New York Times bestselling author of Pardon My Frenchie
"THE NEXT BEST FLING is my favorite kind of romance—heartfelt, humorous, and pitch-perfect hot. I fell head over heels for Gamez's portrayal of deep personal growth, of love that supports and celebrates every step of that healing journey."
Chloe Liese, USA Today bestselling author of Only and Forever
"A saucy twist on the fake-dating trope in her fun and flirty debut."
Publisher's Weekly
Hot chemistry and emotional depth.
Library Journal
"In her delightfully engaging debut, Gamez deftly manipulates the crackling sexual chemistry between her two relatably messy protagonists into a splendidly sexy romance that not only champions body positivity but also delivers a love letter to the joys of reading and books."
