He hired a fake boyfriend to ruin his reputation. He fell in love instead.
Nikky Smith became famous overnight. He's spent every day since wishing he could disappear.
Between a stalker who won't leave him alone and a spotlight that never turns off, Nikky's had enough. His plan on arriving in London is to hire a fake boyfriend from Rent-A-Boyfriend, get caught in a scandal, and torch his own image so the world finally looks away.
He didn't plan on falling for the man he hired.
Ten years ago, Harry Bayonne’s musical career seemed unstoppable, until the same producer now managing Nikky's album ended his career for refusing to sell out. Now, living off royalties for his one-hit wonder song, bitter, and B-list famous, Harry only takes the fake boyfriend gig because helping another industry golden boy self-destruct feels like justice.
But the more time he spends with Nikky, the less he wants to watch him fall. He wants to protect him. Claim him. Give him the safety and the structure no one else has offered him.
Then one impulsive video lands in the wrong hands, and their fake relationship becomes very real leverage for the people trying to destroy them both.
Now Harry has to decide if he's brave enough to fight for the career, and more importantly, the man he never thought he'd get a second chance at. And Nikky has to learn that the only way out is standing his ground, not running from it.
A steamy MM romance featuring fake boyfriends, second chances, hurt/comfort, an age gap, a possessive older love interest, and a coming-of-age journey to finding yourself and the one person who was never going to let you disappear.
Genre: Gay Romance
