Rent-A-Boyfriend
The Weekend Boyfriend
They agreed to play pretend. Nobody warned them how good they'd be at it.
When Javier shows up at billionaire Desmond White's office dressed as a glittery Cupid to sing an embarrassing telegram from Desmond's ex, he expects an awkward job and a quick exit. What he doesn't expect is to end up in Desmond's car, then at his side at a concert, then somehow in his bed on Valentine's Day, playing at being a couple who've been together for years. It's a very good game. A little too good.
Desmond has spent months extricating himself from a toxic ex who knows exactly where all the bodies are buried, both professionally and personally. The last thing he needs is to catch real feelings for a charming, gorgeous man whose business is falling apart around him, and who would walk away in an instant if he ever learned the truth about Desmond's past. So they make a deal: weekends only. Sundays they can pretend to be deeply, happily in love. Mondays, they're on their own.
But between a vindictive ex with a grudge, a crumbling talent agency, a high-stakes ethics scandal, and a stolen afternoon at Kew Gardens that neither of them can stop thinking about, the line between the performance and the real thing is getting dangerously blurry. Because Javier has never felt more like himself than when he's pretending. And Desmond is starting to suspect the only thing worth keeping in his life is the one thing he agreed to give back every Sunday night.
A heartwarming fake boyfriends, grumpy/sunshine, fell first/fell harder, secret relationship story with morally complicated men trying to do the right thing while everything around them goes wrong.
A Likely Story
He needed a fake boyfriend to save his career. He found the love of his life instead.
Drew Oberlin became an overnight sensation after starring in a breakout queer TV series. But all that fame comes with a price. As accusations of queerbaiting threaten his skyrocketing career, Drew’s ambitious girlfriend devises the perfect PR solution: hire a fake boyfriend through Rent-A-Boyfriend while filming in London. A few staged photos, a carefully crafted romance, and the internet will finally believe Drew is the real deal.

What starts as a publicity stunt quickly becomes dangerously real. As Drew experiences a life-changing bi-awakening and finally confronts the truth about himself, the chemistry between him and Lee becomes impossible to fake. But when Drew’s furious ex exposes the truth behind their relationship, both men are forced to decide what matters more: protecting their career or risking everything for love.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of London and packed with swoony tension, scandal, found family, and heartfelt queer self-discovery, A Likely Story is a steamy, emotionally charged queer celebrity romance perfect for fans of fake dating, bisexual awakening, forced proximity, and messy Hollywood scandals.
Not Your Golden Boy
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.
Race to the Bottom
He hired a boyfriend to win a custody battle. He didn't plan on falling for the world's cockiest jockey.
Oliver Sandbourne needs a boyfriend, and he needs one fast. Custody of his daughter is on the line, and nothing will say “stable, loving parent” in court like showing up for the hearing with a devoted partner on his arm.
Enter Rent-A-Boyfriend, and more importantly Arden.
Arden O’Reardon is five-foot-nothing of pure attitude, a champion jockey with zero patience for Oliver's ex-pop-star charm, and even less interest in playing house. But Oliver’s daughter adores him, the horses adore him, and somewhere between school events and stable visits where the two do an astounding job of pretending to be together, Oliver starts adoring him, too.
Arden didn't sign up for real feelings. He's got a crush on someone else, his closeted boss, and a career that can't survive a scandal. But every time Oliver needs him, really needs him, Arden is the one who shows up. Riding to the rescue is starting to feel less like a job and more like falling in...no, this can't be love, can it?
When the cameras start rolling, the custody war heats up, and Arden's own house of cards threatens to collapse, the unlikely lovers will have to decide if their rental romance is worth risking everything for.
Race to the Bottom is a slow-burn, opposites-attract, fake-boyfriend MM romance with a grumpy/sunshine jockey and single dad, a scene-stealing kid, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
