She hired a fake boyfriend. She didn’t expect him to be

Poppy Gable is a lifestyle influencer with 847K followers, a picture-perfect brand—and a big problem. Her ex-fiance will be at her sister’s destination wedding in the Bahamas. With his new tantric-yoga girlfriend. After Poppy panic-lied to her family about having a new boyfriend.

Enter Julian Blackthorne: mysterious billionaire, professional companion for hire, and—unbeknownst to Poppy—a 257-year-old vampire who hasn’t let himself love anyone in fifty years.

Their arrangement is simple: four days of fake romance, some strategic hand-holding, and enough couple content to keep her followers happy. No feelings. No complications.

Then Julian’s darkest secret walks into the wedding reception.

Damien Ashworth has been hunting Julian for 146 years, destroying everyone he loves. Now he’s found his next target: the woman who makes Julian feel human again.

With an ancient enemy closing in, a family full of awkward questions, and feelings that definitely weren’t in the contract, Poppy must decide: Is she willing to risk everything for a man who’s been dead for two centuries?

Because falling for your fake boyfriend is complicated enough. Falling for a vampire? That’s a whole different spreadsheet.
