Bright Lights & Summer Nights
Author: Kat Singleton
Genre: Romance/Contemporary/Fiction
Release Date: January 6, 2026



Summer nights can be full of surprises.

As a single, unemployed, and unapologetic twenty-five year old mess, I came to the Hamptons this summer for one reason—to focus on myself and work out my quarter-life crisis. I didn’t come here planning to sneak into a private party and meet a handsome stranger.

I definitely didn’t come here expecting for that stranger to be Preston Rhodes—billionaire and superstar quarterback for the Manhattan Mambas.

And that’s not even the crazy part.

He asked me to be his pretend girlfriend for a week while his family is in town. He needed a date for his sister’s wedding, and I’d never turn down the opportunity to be spoiled by a rich man.

The only thing is, Preston’s not very good at pretending.

Now instead of discovering myself, I’m spending the week discovering what life would be like with him. Instead of focusing on me, I’m focusing on how he looks at me, how he touches me, how he wants me.

But now that neither one of us is faking it, I only hope that we can hold on to what we have through the bright lights and summer nights.

From the author that brought you Black Ties and White Lies and Pretty Rings and Broken Things, comes an all-new stand-alone in the Black Tie Billionaires Series. Bright Lights and Summer Nights is a billionaire, fake dating, sports romance releasing June 2024. It is Emma's book and a complete stand-alone. It is the third and final book in the series.

This book arrived on my doorstep as a surprise and the surprises didn't stop there! I loved what I found waiting between the pages for me, these two had serious chemistry and a love that could not be denied. It didn't come easy for them, but really when is love really easy? They brought it all to the pages, one moment I was laughing, the next swooning like a fool! It was such a good escape, one that kept me captivated and fully invested the whole way through! I loved it so much that I went and bought the other two titles in the series!! Highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it's pages hold a can't miss love story that is certain to have you feeling all the feels all the way through!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
