James will do whatever it takes to see his brother's memoir-turned-movie succeed. Change his name and take a job as the lead producer's dog-sitter? Done. Pretend to date the producer's scandal-ridden son to get on set? Why not? But there's a massive catch: William Chapman is nothing like the entitled brat the tabloids claim. He's sweet, sexy, and the most talented actor James has ever seen. But making their romance real means admitting the relationship started as a lie. If James is caught, he'll lose his job at the agency, and there is no way in hell he's going back to stripping to pay the rent.
Will Chapman would rather be anywhere than trapped on set with the A-list actor he was falsely accused of assaulting. Well, probably falsely. Will can't remember what happened that night. His father insists this is a necessary step in his comeback journey, but Will's pretty sure it will just lead to more accusations that he's dangerously obsessed. Lucky for him, his mother's new dog-sitter, James, has a plan to dispel those rumors-pretend to be lovers.
But in Hollywood, fake relationships have a way of feeling all too real . . .
Once a Golden Boy is a witty, emotional, and irresistibly soapy M/M romance packed with secrets, second chances, and heart-stopping chemistry.
