Release Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway:
Awfully Ambrose
By Lisa Henry & Sarah Honey
Bad Boyfriends, Inc, Book 1
Ambrose Newman is a bad boyfriend. Professionally. If someone’s parents don’t approve of that long-haired unemployed bass player they want to date, that’s where Ambrose comes in. For a few hundred dollars a night, he’ll go to dinner with a client and their parents and show them that the grass is definitely not greener on his side of the fence. It’s dead. When Ambrose brings a date to a fancy restaurant, it isn’t sparks that fly—it’s glassware.
After his last boyfriend turned out to be a cheat, Liam Connelly has no interest in dating again, but his parents are determined to see him paired off. When they come to visit, he hires Ambrose to act as his boyfriend. If Ambrose can be a bad boyfriend, he can be a tolerable one too, right? But Ambrose plays the part too well and scores an invitation to spend the Easter weekend with the Connolly family at their winery, and Liam finds himself developing real affection for his fake boyfriend.
But does Ambrose return those feelings, or is it all an act?

Excerpt:
As they watched, Ambrose started waving his hands animatedly. “Yeah,” he said at a volume level more suited to a dance club than a restaurant, “I’m definitely too good to settle for any old job. I mean, look at me. I’ve modelled, for Christ’s sake.” He pulled his shirt up to show off a lean torso and sculpted abs. Liam might have been impressed, except he suspected that the only reason Ambrose was so fit was because he was constantly running away from people who wanted to punch him in the face.
“I’m dating a model, Mum,” Kelly said. “Aren’t I lucky?”
Tom looked unimpressed. “Yeah? I’ve never seen your face anywhere.”
Ambrose gave a sheepish grin. “Well, I say modelling, but it wasn’t exactly mainstream. And it didn’t exactly feature my face as the main attraction. It was more off-grid, online, pay-per-view, take-yourself-in-hand kind of work, you get me?”
There was stunned silence. “You mean…?” Jeanette started.
“I guess you old people would call it porn, yeah. It was pretty successful, too.” He reached for his phone. “Wanna see?”
“No, we bloody well don’t,” Tom snapped.
Something in his tone must have gotten through because Ambrose just shrugged and said, “I’ll leave it up to your imagination. Or you can ask Kell.” He gave a filthy wink to Jeanette, along with the inevitable finger guns.
Liam checked his watch and willed them to leave. Surely two hours was enough of this torture? He was relieved to see that Ambrose was standing, possibly in preparation for departure, but his heart sank when Ambrose cleared his throat, shook out his arms, and declared to anyone who was listening, “I’m gonna do a magic trick!”
With a determined set to his chin, he grabbed the corner of the tablecloth.
“Oh, Jesus,” Liam groaned, and sprinted across the room. “Sir!” he bellowed, not caring how he looked, “please don’t attempt to remove the tablecloth! It never works!”
“It’ll work for me! It’s gonna be amazing!” Ambrose insisted. And with that he pulled at the cloth, which, instead of sliding out from under the crockery in a dazzling display of finesse, dragged everything along with it, sending plates, glasses and cutlery crashing onto the floor and a glass of red wine into Jeanette’s lap. Ambrose stared at the wreckage, and Liam could have sworn he was genuinely shocked.
“Well, fuck,” he said loudly. “That didn’t happen on YouTube.”

About Lisa Henry:
Lisa likes to tell stories, mostly with hot guys and happily ever afters.
Lisa lives in tropical North Queensland, Australia. She doesn't know why, because she hates the heat, but she suspects she's too lazy to move. She spends half her time slaving away as a government minion, and the other half plotting her escape.
She attended university at sixteen, not because she was a child prodigy or anything, but because of a mix-up between international school systems early in life. She studied History and English, neither of them very thoroughly.
She shares her house with too many cats, a dog, a green tree frog that swims in the toilet, and as many possums as can break in every night. This is not how she imagined life as a grown-up.
Lisa has been published since 2012, and was a LAMBDA finalist for her quirky, awkward coming-of-age romance Adulting 101, and a Rainbow Awards finalist for 2019’s Anhaga.
