Luc O'Donnell finds himself thrust back into unwanted media attention after a public disaster threatens to destroy what remains of his reputation. The reluctant celebrity needs a solution fast. Oliver Blackwood appears like an answer to his problems. Oliver is gorgeous, impeccably dressed, professionally successful, and maintains a spotless public image. He follows a strict vegetarian diet and has never once appeared in tabloid gossip. Oliver represents everything Luc needs to look respectable again. They agree to a fake relationship that will benefit them both. But as Luc and Oliver spend more time together, their pretend romance begins shifting into something genuine. Real feelings complicate their arrangement. Now both men must decide if they want to pursue an authentic relationship together, even knowing it could bring fresh scandal and serious consequences to their lives.
