Description
Austen Page is the kind of man who commands a room without even trying—brilliant, devastatingly handsome, and fiercely loyal. He is the ultimate catch, except for one stinging reality: he is off-limits. Not only is he the younger brother of my best friend, but he has always come across as firmly straight. Or, at least, that is what I’ve spent years telling myself.
Staring down the barrel of crushing career burnout and relentless pressure from parents obsessed with my marital status, I concoct a desperate, foolproof plan. I ask Austen to play the role of my boyfriend. It’s a clean-cut solution to get my family off my back so I can finally focus on writing my next hit album. Since Austen doesn't see me that way, what could possibly go wrong?
As it turns out, everything.
The lines between our performance and reality begin to blur with terrifying speed. What started as a strategic lie is evolving into a raw, undeniable connection that demands more than I know how to give. Caught in the ache of a bi-awakening, I find myself desperate to speed toward him while begging the universe to slow down. Can a romance built on a ruse ever survive the truth?
