About The Plus-One Problem

She invented a girlfriend to survive one wedding. Then she said a real name.

Seven rules. One weekend. One bed. Zero chance.

Tamsin Halloran has one goal for her cousin’s Napa wedding: don’t be the family tragedy.

Her boyfriend of seven years just got engaged to someone else, and the whole family saw it online. So when her mother calls to ask, very gently, whether she’ll be bringing anyone, the most careful woman in Boston does the least careful thing of her life.

She says she has a girlfriend.

Then she says a name. Romy Kostas. The bride’s best friend. The photographer she almost kissed on a Providence rooftop ten years ago, right before she ran for a train that didn’t exist.

Romy agrees to play along for one weekend. Tamsin writes seven rules in a shared doc. No kissing unless necessary. Nobody finds out. Nobody catches feelings. It all ends Sunday at checkout.

Then the bride merges their rooms into the honeymoon suite. One bed. One copper tub. One grandmother with a martini ordering them to kiss.

Rule Four lasts six hours.

Romy can do fake. What she can’t do is be somebody’s beautiful weekend secret. And Tamsin is running out of rules to hide behind.

The Plus-One Problem is a high-heat sapphic romantic comedy with fake dating, one bed, a bisexual awakening, a second chance ten years in the making, dual first-person POV, and no third-act breakup. HEA guaranteed.
