Summary
When a breakup leaves Alex without a place to live while he completes his dream internship at the NYC Public Library, playboy Henry Fox offers a deal: pretend they're in a relationship long enough to convince his mother he's settled down and ready to take on the role of COO of Pulsar Enterprises.
With nowhere else to go, Alex agrees. After all, he can hang off someone's arm and bat his lashes with the best of them.
But the performance becomes real faster than either of them expected—and just as quickly, it becomes dangerous. When Henry's role at Pulsar drags them into a web of forged provenance, stolen artifacts, and a fraud that reaches from the Algiers black market to the library's own verification committee, Alex and Henry have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice for the truth. Their careers. Their safety. The carefully constructed life they've built together.
And when the only way to expose the fraud is to publicly betray the family Henry has spent his whole life trying to save, they learn that some performances can't be maintained—and some choices can't be taken back.
