The Proposal meets Red White and Royal Blue in this fake dating queer romance, following an aspiring young diplomat who hopes to land his dream job by hiring an actor to play his boyfriend.

'Simply delicious, ferociously funny and deeply moving. Every single page made me laugh out loud' Daisy Buchanan, author of All Grown Up.

Max has never had time for a relationship working in the high stakes world of international diplomacy. But when a high-profile ambassadorial position opens up in Athens, Max is discreetly advised that his single status isn't helping his chances. In this line of work, appearances matter, and Max's rival Quentin has an advantage in the form of his charming and accomplished girlfriend.

Determined not to lose out, Max hires Hunter, a blunt but charismatic American actor, to play the perfect boyfriend. Hunter dazzles on the diplomatic circuit, but soon the charade takes on a life of its own. When visa complications force Max and Hunter to make their relationship official, they find themselves trapped in a marriage of convenience that is anything but convenient. There's only one thing that could make all this even more complicated – if Max and Hunter's feelings for each other start becoming real . . .
