I only needed a fake boyfriend.
It was supposed to be a simple arrangement, convincing enough to get my family off my back while I survive a season of wedding events, forced smiles, and my ex parading around like he didn’t wreck me.
What I have is'''not that.
My boyfriend disappears for days and comes back like nothing happened. He wears expensive suits and says very little about his past. He looks at me like he already knows how this ends.
I should’ve asked more questions before I made the deal.
He plays the part. He touches me like it’s real. Kisses me like he means it. And he makes sure no one gets too close.
In return?
I don’t ask where he goes.
I don’t ask what he does.
And if anyone starts noticing things they shouldn’t…I lie.
It works.
The man I brought home to meet my family isn’t just intense, or private, or a little unhinged—
He’s a mafia hitman.
A very good one.
Now I have a smirking, gorgeous golden retriever who handles my problems before I can even name them. Who doesn’t seem to understand that this was supposed to be fake. Who’s settled into my life like he has no intention of leaving.
And the worst part?
Somewhere between the first lie and the third wedding event, I stopped wanting him to.
