The Fake Mate

Mehr zum Buch

Mackenzie Carter has endured a string of disastrous dates, from model train enthusiasts to overly chatty mansplainers, leaving her frustrated and single. With her grandmother pressuring her to find the perfect partner, Mackenzie resorts to telling her that she’s met someone. In a moment of desperation, she names the first man she sees: Noah Taylor, the grumpy interventional cardiologist known as the "big bad wolf" at Denver General. Noah has spent years concealing his true nature as an unmated alpha, wary of outdated stigmas. However, an anonymous tip threatens to expose him, forcing him to choose between revealing his secret to the board or finding a mate. Coincidentally, Mackenzie’s request for him to be her fake boyfriend aligns perfectly with his predicament. This arrangement seems mutually beneficial—she can appease her grandmother while he can maintain his career without a real mate. As their fake relationship evolves into a friends-with-benefits situation, they begin to navigate the complexities of their feelings, discovering that love is more complicated than either had anticipated.
