The Boyfriend Pact: An M/M Friends to Lovers Romance
Dillon Hunter
I've mastered the art of hiding my feelings—from my disapproving father, from myself, and especially from Ryan, my best friend since childhood. As an artist, I pour my heart into my work, but the masterpiece I can't seem to perfect is keeping my decade-long crush under wraps.
Ryan has always been the steady one, the friend I can count on, the guy with the perfectly planned future. But when a dream job opportunity in Chicago threatens to separate us, everything I thought I knew about our friendship starts to unravel.
One tipsy birthday confession leads to an irresistible fake dating to get my father off my back while Ryan is still in town. It's the perfect solution—until pretend kisses start feeling real, casual touches linger too long, and I realize we're playing a dangerous game with our hearts.
As fiction and reality start to blur, I'm facing the biggest risk of my life. Because how do I tell my best friend I'm in love with him when I can't even admit it to myself?
