A Boyfriend by Christmas by Raleigh Ruebins

I hired him to help me get a boyfriend by Christmas, but time was running out.
Then he said he’d fake it for me.

Mason: When I searched the Internet looking for confidence tips, I didn’t expect to find a guy who taught confidence for a living. Kade Thompson Confidence Coaching sounded like the worst thing in the world: a brash, tattooed bad boy teaching me how to live my life? Thank you, but no.
But when I met up with Kade, the night ended up very steamy, very unexpectedly. He told me that he didn’t do commitment, and would never want a boyfriend of his own… but he offered to come home for Christmas with me and pretend to be mine.
He isn’t really mine, no matter how hot things get. When we kiss, it’s pretend. When we sleep together, it’s just acting. So why do I suddenly wish it were real?

Kade: I’ve never helped a man like Mason before. He’s shy, like all my clients, but who in the world keeps an Excel spreadsheet of all their dating failures? But I need Mason–my bank account is running on empty, and I can’t pay my rent.
When he needed a fake boyfriend, I offered to do it. Given the opportunity to kiss a sexy man, I never say no. But when I have to pretend I love Mason, my world is turned upside-down. Why am I enjoying this part? And why am I still kissing him when no one else is around?
