International Relations

When Max hires a charismatic actor to pose as his boyfriend on the diplomatic circuit, he expects to fool his colleagues—not fall for the man himself.

As an ambitious young diplomat with his sights set on a prestigious ambassadorial posting in Athens, Max knows the high-stakes world of international relations leaves no room for personal complications. So when he's quietly advised that his single status is costing him points against his insufferably polished rival Quentin—who conveniently has a charming girlfriend on his arm—Max decides to level the playing field. Enter Hunter: devastatingly attractive, effortlessly charismatic, and willing to play the perfect boyfriend for the right price.

Hunter takes to the diplomatic social scene like he was born for it, dazzling ministers and dignitaries with equal ease. The problem? He's a little too convincing. And Max is finding it a little too difficult to remember that none of this is real. When a visa complication threatens to unravel everything, their carefully constructed arrangement spirals into something neither of them planned for—something that feels dangerously close to the relationship they've only been pretending to have.

Sharp, funny, and swoon-worthy, *International Relations* is a queer romantic comedy that proves the most complex negotiations aren't always the ones happening across the conference table. Sometimes the hardest treaty to broker is the one between your head and your heart.

Perfect for fans of *The Proposal* and witty enemies-to-lovers romances with real emotional stakes.
