Book
Here for the wrong reasons : a novel / Annabel Paulsen and Lydia Wang.
Rodeo queen Krystin has given up on the men in her state of Montana (yes, the whole state). When the reality TV show Hopelessly Devoted asks her to join the cast, Krystin jumps at the chance; she just knows she'll be the one to win the bachelor's heart this season. Lauren, another Hopelessly Devoted contestant, has different reasons for joining the cast. She's hoping that her appearance on the show will parlay into social media partnerships. Lauren, who is a lesbian, fully expects to be kicked off the show early but is dismayed as the weeks go by and she's still having to pretend to be straight. At the same time, she's becoming more and more attracted to Krystin, who seems to be feeling the chemistry as well.

"Krystin knows exactly what she wants: a husband, a horse, and a place to hang all her competitive rodeo blue ribbons. But when none of the eligible bachelors in Montana end up being right for her, she turns to reality TV. On Hopelessly Devoted, Krystin will compete against dozens of other women for the heart of this season's Hopeless Romantic, Josh Rosen. She's determined to win the perfect life she came here for-if she can just ignore the glossy brunette whose crimson smile gives her goosebumps. Laurenhas never done anything for the right reasons-and she's definitely not on Hopelessly Devoted to win Josh's heart. Lauren's plan is simple: stay on the show long enough to build her social media following, and then gracefully leave when it's her turn to be eliminated. With enough followers, she'll finally have the clout to do whatever she wants-including come out of the proverbial walk-in closet. But the longer she stays on the show, the more she finds herself tangled up in a certain blonde's lasso"-- - Random House, Inc.
