Description
He's a scandal. He's a role model. Together, they're a headline.
When a candid photo of professional problem Mo-son of the Arizona Canyon's' owner-and Adam, the league's first openly drafted golden , hits the internet, it doesn't spark rumors. It confirms them. According to everyone, they've been secretly together for years.
Mo is one scandal away from losing everything, including his family's support. Captain Adam, Phoenix's most eligible gay bachelor, has spent his entire career being careful, respectable, unmessy. Publicly denying Mo could have a negative impact on him and his team.
So they make a deal: fake it.
What starts as damage control tuns into a full-time performance-public appearances, staged dates, late nights that feel a little too real. The more convincing they are, the safer they'll be. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell what's real and what's strategy. Because somewhere between the arguments, the chemistry, and the us-against-the-world pressure... they stop pretending. Too bad the rules of the game don't leave room for catching feelings....

Ashlyn Kane always wanted to be the class clown but never had the guts to come out of that teacher's-pet shell. Now she channels her need to make people laugh into contemporary queer romance. Her 2019 release Fake Dating the Prince received a coveted starred review from Publishers Weekly, which called it "as sparkling as a diamond engagement ring."
On any given day she can usually be found walking her ninety-pound baby chocolate lapdog, Indy, or holed up in her office avoiding anything that resembles cleaning. She has a deep and abiding love of romance novel tropes, a habit of dropping too many f-bombs, and-fortunately-a very forgiving family.
