Description

Teddy is focused on one thing, and one thing only—making his brother proud. That means finishing his Master's degree with the highest grades possible, then finding a good job. Those plans don't leave time for anything else, so when Teddy is told he needs a date for a birthday party, he lies and says he has one in the hopes that he'll be able to wiggle his way out of the party. He doesn't. Instead, he finds himself having to come up with a fake boyfriend, and he has no idea who can help him with that, so he's lucky Sterling, a Gillham pack member and one of his acquaintances, comes up with someone. When a pack member approaches Ollie and asks him if he wants to play fake boyfriend for a friend of his, Ollie agrees. He hopes it will help distract him from the jealousy he feels at the sight of his best friend with his mate. He loves Gabriel and Gabriel's new mate, but he wants what they have, and he doesn't know how to get it. They're both stunned when they meet at the party and realize they're mates. Teddy doesn't have time for Ollie, but can he really give up his only chance at being with his mate? And can Ollie get over what his parents did to him and trust Teddy, especially when Teddy is trying so hard to keep him at arm's length?
