A 2020 Readers’ Favorite Romance Nominee

Luc O'Donnell, reluctantly famous and always a step away from a PR disaster, suddenly finds himself in the worst kind of spotlight. Desperate to salvage his crumbling reputation, he needs a quick fix—enter Oliver Blackwood.

Polished, successful, and impeccably well-behaved, Oliver is everything Luc is not. An ethical vegetarian with zero scandal to his name, Oliver is the perfect solution: a pretend boyfriend to help Luc appear respectable. But as their staged romance starts to feel all too real, Luc and Oliver must decide if their relationship is worth fighting for—no matter the scandal or the fallout.
