Why would the town golden boy need to buy a girlfriend to
take home for Thanksgiving break? Drew
Callahan has demons, big demons, and by having someone filling this role just
might offer some protection. So when he
approaches Fable Maguire, the town floozie, for the role it’s the money that
seals the deal. Raising her younger
brother while their mother makes random appearances, she knows the money will a big help, but
something about Drew makes her want to do this for him. Besides, it’s only one week right?
Demons. We all have them. Some just bigger than others, but
Drew’s have caused him to live the shell of a life that his family could
financially afford. Handsome, college
football hero and utterly alone, but Fable understands Drew and offers him a
lifeline. Once Fable meets his father and step-mother, she knows something is
not right and will give Drew the strength and support to get through their week
together as boyfriend and girlfriend.
They fight their growing attraction, but her own insecurities threaten
to push him away. Who will cry
“marshmallow” first?
I was immediately pulled into this story by page one and was
excited to see it has a sequel. I fell
in love with Drew and Fable. Two young people pretending to be someone they’re
not just to survive is a powerful and motivating story. Ms. Murphy created wonderful characters that
you either loved or hated within a dark storyline that had my pulse hammering
wondering if I learn his secrets. One
Week Girlfriend’s sequel, Second Chance Boyfriend, is in the works and will be
reading it.

Temporary. That one single word best describes my life these
last few years. I’m working at a temporary job until I can finally break free.
I’m my little brother’s temporary mother since our mom doesn’t give a crap
about either of us. And I’m that temporary girl all the guys want to get with
because I give it up so easily. According to the rumors, at least.
But now I’m the temporary girlfriend of Drew Callahan,
college football legend and all around golden guy. He’s beautiful, sweet—and
he’s hiding way more secrets than I am. He’s brought me into this fake life
where everyone seems to hate me. And everyone seems to want something from him.
The only thing he seems to want though is…
Me.
I don’t know what to believe anymore. All I know is, I think
Drew needs me. And I want to be there for him.
Forever.
