Faking the Fiancé (Lakeshore Medical Romance Book 1)

He’s brilliant, untouchable, and the nurses call him the Dread Prince.

Dr. Arjun Kapoor saves children’s lives with surgical precision and the bedside manner of a Victorian ghost. He’s also been hiding a devastating crush on his complete opposite: Dr. Casey Welling, six-foot-three of golden retriever chaos in dinosaur-print scrubs, who does magic tricks for crying kids and has been hopelessly in love with the Dread Prince for two years.

So when Arjun’s mother announces she’s arranged his engagement to a perfectly suitable surgeon from London, he panics. He tells her he’s already engaged. To Casey. Who has absolutely no idea.

Now they have a deal: a month at the Kapoor family estate in Rajasthan, fake dating in front of Arjun’s terrifyingly powerful family. There are rules. A leather notebook of pre-approved pet names. One bed. (Obviously.) And a pillow wall that’s already threatening to collapse.

The problem? Casey was never pretending. And somewhere between the scheming mother, the gossiping aunties, the dangerously charming rival who won’t stop flirting with his fake fiancé, and the slow burn that’s quickly becoming an inferno, Arjun is discovering the most terrifying thing a control freak can do: fall in love for real.

A laugh-out-loud MM romantic comedy about two doctors, one spectacularly bad lie, and the mortifying ordeal of realizing your fake relationship is the most real thing you’ve ever had.

For fans of: rom-coms, opposites attract, friends to lovers, fake dating, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, MM medical romance, only one bed, and men who are catastrophically bad at feelings.
