The Knockoff Boyfriend: An MM Age-Gap Rom-Com (Silver Hearts)

A desperate lie, a fake boyfriend, and a luxury villa retreat. What could possibly go wrong? Dominic Burke needs a boyfriend by Friday. Specifically, he needs the devastatingly handsome private equity genius he invented to escape his wealthy friends’ pitying stares. Cornered and out of time, he makes an insane deal with Remy, the charming office intern who happens to own a surprisingly convincing knockoff luxury watch. The arrangement is simple: play the part of the doting partner for four days at a sun-drenched villa, secure a glowing corporate reference letter, and absolutely do not cross the invisible center line of their shared king-sized bed. But Remy isn't just playing dress-up. Behind the rumpled polo shirts and lazy breakroom smiles lies a secret identity Dominic never saw coming. As faked affection turns into breathless midnight balcony encounters, the line between corporate strategy and true desire completely dissolves. The Knockoff Boyfriend is a sweet and sensual, closed-door MM contemporary romance packed with sharp workplace banter, accidental proximity, and a deep emotional intimacy that proves some love stories are just too real to fake.
