Sharing a king-sized bed while maintaining some personal boundaries? Check.
Convincing his family they're madly in love? Easy.
Ignoring their sizzling chemistry? Impossible.
Dean Hollis has a plan to survive his sister's tropical destination wedding: invent a boyfriend so his mom will stop worrying about his perpetually single status. The only problem? Now he needs an actual date.
Enter Taylan Carter—charming, gorgeous, and in need of a vacation he can't afford. When Dean offers him a deal—pretend to be Dean's boyfriend for a week on a private tropical island in exchange for an all-expenses-paid luxury getaway—how can Tay refuse?
But between sunset swims, probing family questions, and a rival trying to steal his fake boyfriend, Tay's finding it harder and harder to remember this is all just pretend. And as for Dean, the workaholic American surgeon with walls higher than the hospital where they both work? He's discovering that keeping things professional with Tay might be the one operation he can't successfully complete…
One desperate lie. One luxury resort. One very real attraction. Operation Boyfriend is a delicious fake-dating romance that whisks you away to a tropical resort where stolen kisses feel a little too real. If you’re looking for the perfect beach read, this book is for you.
