Shy Bookworm + Male Escort = Fauxmance
In this era of social media, we all pretend.
We pretend to be prettier, happier, more confident versions of ourselves, but not Ellen Grant. She takes it to a whole other level and pretends to be someone else entirely. Adopting the persona of a woman far more interesting is the only way she can break free of the socially awkward, romantically inept girl she really is.
And itโs all going swimmingly until she catches the eye of a man at her local coffee shop. Julian Fairchild has been noticing her for a while and heโs fascinated. Little does he know, the woman he thinks heโs obsessed with is a fake.
Itโs not long before the jig is up, and Julian discovers Ellenโs true identity. However, he has a proposition. If she really wants to pretend, he can introduce her to a world where she can be anyone she wants. Ellen is intrigued by the prospect, and, blind to the nature of Julianโs profession as a male escort, closes her eyes and lets him lead the way.
Can Ellen keep her feelings in check while discovering a new world of thrills and excitement? And will Julian let it show that he isnโt entertaining Ellen purely out of the goodness of his heart?
