Kema Anderson has exactly four days to solve one very inconvenient problem… She needs a plus one.

Her best friend’s destination wedding in Cancún was supposed to be a week of sun, drinks, and celebration—until Kema learns her ex is the best man, and he’s bringing the woman he cheated on her with. Showing up alone? Absolutely not an option.

Enter Ace Davis. He’s handsome, familiar, available, and just happens to be her ex’s best friend. What starts as one unexpected night turns into an even crazier idea.

The plan is simple fake the relationship, survive the wedding, and go home.

Except there’s nothing simple about pretending with Ace.

TK Fletcher is a Louisiana author who writes stories about Black love, family, faith, and the kind of women who don’t need rescuing. Her characters simply need to be loved well. Whether she’s writing small-town romance, sports romance, romantic suspense, or contemporary fiction, her books will always center a resilient black woman.

A member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., TK is currently pursuing her doctorate in Healthcare Administration while working in Medicare compliance. When she isn’t writing, she’s usually reading romance novels, cheering for the Saints and LSU, or dreaming up her next storyline.

After losing her mother in 2025, writing became more than a creative outlet. It became a place to process grief and tell the kinds of stories she grew up wanting to read. Her goal is simple: to create books that make readers laugh, cry, think, and leave every story feeling like they just spent time with people they’ll never forget.
