[Pre-Order] Do Not Kiss Nicholas Prince by Brandon Purves

****Published Jan 14th 2026****

Eli’s love life’s a disaster, he’s still working at the same old cafe, and lives in the shadow of his Gran, whose bestselling novels have made her a local celebrity. But when Eli learns his most cherished book of hers is being adapted for film—starring wannabe actor Nicholas Prince—he snaps.

In a drunken rage, he creates an anonymous petition: Do Not Cast Nicholas Prince. But then Eli meets Nicholas, who’s handsome, talented and … infuriating.

When a fake-dating scheme thrusts them into the spotlight, Eli can’t tell what’s real and what’s for the camera. And with his secret threatening everything, falling for Nicholas could cost him more than his heart.
