Description
One (unrequited) crush. One (fake) relationship. It's a matter of interpretation…
British Sign Language interpreter Ben Cooper excels at sticking to the background. Keeping quiet is literally the gig. And he loves it. The only problem is his unwieldy, unethical, entirely unrequited crush on his sole client, Simon Azie.
Overachieving Simon is everything Ben's not. Career-forward and composed, the deaf PR agent sparkles through life, reversing celebrity scandals with a wink and a grin – until, that is, his insta-perfect image glitches.
Tagged in an anonymous sex tape filmed in a closeted client's country pile, the agency cues Simon for cancellation before their reputation gets as muddy as a music festival. Panicked they'll never work together again, Ben blunders in with the worst idea he's ever had.
No celebrity; no scandal. What if the unidentified other man is him?
Either they fake the relationship or their intertwined careers are toast. So, commitment-averse Azie boyfriending better than Ben ever daydreamed doesn't mean anything…right?
