Love is a bug in the system. I'm Maddie Denton—girl boss coder, full-time trash-talker, and proud member of the "No Thanks, I’ll Die Alone" club. Society says because I have a hoo-ha, I should want a man more than building my dream company. I say: eat my Wi-Fi. My sisters think I’m stuck in arrested development, but my best friend and co-founder Zack likes me just the way I am—foul-mouthed, hoodie-wearing chaos goblin and all. We’re this close to securing that sweet investor cash for LoveScore—our baby, our legacy, our shot at hitting the bigtime. All we have to do is add "intimate physical data" to the app… in six weeks. Our solution? Gather that spicy data ourselves by fake-dating, proving that geeks never grow up—we just fake it better than everyone. I'm Zack, and today I learned I'm both desperate and stupid. I’ve agreed to fake-date Maddie—my business partner and the girl I’ve never stopped wanting. Which means… Role-playing. Fake kissing. Cosplaying with her as my fantasy girlfriend. Pretending my longtime secret crush is finally mine? Easiest acting job of my life. But every fake touch, every "just for research" act of desire, short-circuits my common sense—and fries whatever's left of my self-control. If I slip up, I don’t just lose the company. I lose her. The Love Startup is a filthy, dirty-minded, laugh-out-loud friends-to-lovers workplace romcom about two geeks fake-dating their way into real love—and real trouble. Perfect for fans of high-spice Meghan Quinn mayhem, steamy role-play, he-falls-first pining, and ambitious heroines who have zero chill. Standalone HEA. Open door. Grab your copy now.

They stay mentally in their teen years 🤣 and yes, that's what we get here 😎 Maddie is the coder in this book, and that's really rare. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more..." Minnie, Early Reviewer "I feel as if I was watching a Netflix romcom totally adorable!" Miss Bluejeanlottie, NetGalley Reviewer "Maddie is spunky and just outright badass. And Zack is hilarious, confident, and totally in love with Maddie. The push-and-pull between them was painful, and you couldn't help but scream at them to just do it! This book is freaking hilarious, has tension wound so tight you could scream, and some extremely hot and spicy moments! Hands down one of the best bff-to-lovers rom-coms I've read!" Jackie, Goodreads Reviewer
