Tyler Ashford is tired of being the sad and lonely single of his family. Initially enlisting the help of a friend, Tyler is forced to take extreme measures when his original plan falls through. With perfection in mind, the tattooed bad boy he hires isn’t the definition of who will impress his judgmental, Connecticut family, but he’s out of options.

Julien Kosta is knee deep in debt and running out of time. With his livelihood on the line, he accepts the offer to play the part of the successful boyfriend of a spoiled, rich brat, who happens to be just his type. Julien feels like a fish out of water in the country club lifestyle he finds himself surrounded by, but if he can just smile and get through this Christmas, he will be free of his past and have a chance at a fresh start.

Between Tyler’s overbearing family, non-stop Christmas traditions, and the looming feeling that they might be caught, both Tyler and Julien must maneuver this holiday season cautiously. Though maybe the real danger isn’t the ruse being found out, but the feelings they develop for one another along the way.

Real Tree / Fake Boyfriend is a contemporary MM romantic comedy pulling from all of the best tropes from your favorite cheesy Christmas movies, with a dash of spice, a cringe-fail antagonist, and only one bed.

Content Warning: This book includes strong language, mild violence, mentions of past parental death, and mature themes. While the story does contain some open door sexual scenes, it is low spice.
