Julian Whitmore needs a mate—fast. Not for love, but to convince his powerful grandfather he’s settled down and secure his inheritance. His solution? Hire a rugged alpha to play the part.
Rafe Maddox needs cash. Raising his niece and running a garage in Queens doesn’t leave much wiggle room. Pretending to be a rich omega’s perfect partner? Fine. He’ll fake it for three months—no feelings, no problem.
But chemistry doesn’t care about contracts. When the lines between real and fake start to blur, Julian and Rafe realize their "arrangement" might be anything but.
Alpha for Appearances is a swoony, steamy full-length omegaverse romance featuring a bratty omega, a protective alpha, only one bed, found family feels, accidental heat, and a guaranteed HEA.
Book 1 in the Manhattan Mates series.
