The Cellist's Fake Romance

Arya has always kept romance to a single night, but with forty approaching and his friends pairing off, that rule is starting to feel less certain.

The man from his latest hookup is Ben, newly appointed committee chair for the charity ball Arya's company is planning in Kansas City.

Ben's fresh start is already faltering, especially once he has to work beside the cellist who ghosted him.

When Ben's ex shows up pushing for a reunion, Ben blurts out that he has moved on through fake dating with Arya.

Caught between staying professional and helping the man he cannot forget, Arya accepts the act in exchange for Ben's help winning a major client.

The longer they keep up the pretense, the harder it becomes to tell where the arrangement ends and real feeling begins.
