He’s been ordering coffee from me for eight months. He doesn’t even know my name.Dr. Beckett Harlow. Plastic surgeon. Silver at the temples. The kind of man who walks into a room and the room sits up straighter.I’m the girl behind the counter. I make his Americano. I draw his hands in my sketchbook when no one’s looking. And I have never once existed to him beyond the words “the usual.”Then he shows up after my shift with a proposition.His ex-wife is being honored at a five-day medical conference in Chicago. He needs a date. Someone outside his world. Someone who won’t cause gossip. Someone disposable.Eight thousand dollars. One hotel room. One king bed. Five days of pretending to be his girlfriend in front of every colleague he’s ever tried to impress.I say yes. Because the money covers my art school tuition. Because I’m practical. Because I’m definitely not doing this for the way he looked at me when he said my name for the first time.Chicago is supposed to be an arrangement. Controlled. Professional. Temporary.But he holds my hand when no one is watching. He looks at me like I’m not the girl from the cafe. Like I’m something he’s been trying not to want. Like he’s failing.And then he takes me apart in a hotel room and I stop pretending any of this is fake.We come home. He goes back to being Dr. Harlow. I go back to being no one.Except… I don’t want to be no one to him. And I have a feeling he doesn’t either—if he can break his self-control.Fake Date Doctor Daddy is a scorching age gap romance featuring a silver fox surgeon, a fake dating arrangement that burns for real, one king bed, and a guaranteed happily ever after with no cliffhanger.Perfect for readers who love:• Silver fox surgeons who fall first and fall hard• Fake dating that stops being fake before either of them fully admits it• One king bed with a man who promised not to touch you• Age gap romance with real emotional stakes• A heroine art student who sketches him like he’s her muse• Protective heroes who break their own rules• Spicy scenes that earn every moment of heat• A guaranteed HEA Read more
