Fake Out: A Fake Boyfriend Romance

Maddox, a self-proclaimed liar, rarely visits home due to three simple words: "I'm a liar." To escape the pressure of marrying his childhood sweetheart, he concocted a lie that he was gay and fled to New York in a panic. Five years later, following a drunken encounter, he receives an invitation to her wedding, where he must show up with his non-existent boyfriend, as Maddox is actually straight – or so he thinks. Meeting the man he bribed to play the role of his boyfriend for the weekend forces him to question his own identity.

Damon, Maddox's sister's best friend, is asked to pretend to be Maddox's boyfriend, a request that he initially wants to refuse. People like Maddox perpetuate stereotypes that prevent others from believing Damon when he says he is gay. However, Damon reluctantly agrees because Maddox has something he needs. With aspirations of becoming a successful sports agent after a baseball injury ended his career, Damon agrees to spend forty-eight hours with Maddox in exchange for a meeting with a potential client. Despite his reservations, Damon finds himself drawn to Maddox, even though he is straight – or so he claims.

As the weekend unfolds, both Maddox and Damon find themselves grappling with unexpected feelings and attractions. They grapple with their own identities and desires as they navigate the complexities of their newfound relationship. Fake Out is a gripping MM novel that explores the boundaries of sexuality and love, with no cliffhanger ending in sight.
