Mitch Collins is dreading another family Christmas filled with prying questions, silent judgments, and, most painfully, an empty chair beside him at the table. At twenty-eight, he’s tired of being the family’s lone single—and their favorite matchmaking project.
Enter Garred, his best friend’s straight, ruggedly handsome roommate. A serious firefighter with no shortage of charm, Garred might be the last person Mitch expected to bring home for the holidays. But when Mitch’s best friend suggests Garred as a “boyfriend for hire” to keep his family off his back, Mitch reluctantly agrees. What starts as a simple charade soon sparks something Mitch never expected.
With a family that’s instantly smitten with his “boyfriend” and Garred settling into the role with surprising ease, Mitch finds himself in deeper than he planned. As the line between pretense and genuine affection blurs, Mitch wonders if he’s finally found a reason to love the holidays.
Boyfriend for the Holidays is a sweet yet steamy fake-dating, small-town Christmas romance about love that surprises you when you least expect it.
