Love Secrets: Ryan and Alistair

His hired date is gorgeous. His eyeliner is flawless. His story is bullshit. Alistair Fenwick believes in love. He sells it every day. Roses. Peonies. Perfect bouquets tied with silk ribbon at Budding Romance, the flower shop he opened after walking away from a six-figure corporate career-and the man who broke his heart. Ten years later, Alistair is perfectly content. Mostly. Then his father dies. And apparently, one cannot simply send flowers to one's own father's funeral. Going home means facing the corporate empire Alistair abandoned. The family who never understood why he left. And Andy. His ex. The man who shattered his heart and is now a senior vice president at Alistair's father's company. Alistair needs moral support. What he gets is Ryan Beckett. Twenty years younger. Beautiful. Shamelessly comfortable with his sexuality. Owner of far too much dramatic eyeliner and absolutely no appreciation for Alistair's carefully constructed dignity. He's also an escort. Hiring Ryan to pretend to be his boyfriend is possibly the stupidest thing Alistair has ever done. Until it starts working. Ryan is fascinated by Alistair's old-world manners, bow ties, and complete inability to flirt. Alistair is equally fascinated by Ryan. All of him. The funeral is going surprisingly well. Then Andy arrives. And Alistair discovers one tiny problem. Ryan Beckett isn't who he says he is. Not even close. And apparently... Alistair isn't the only man keeping secrets. LOVE SECRET is a spicy MM age-gap romantic comedy featuring a silver fox florist, a confident younger man with secrets, fake dating, hired escort chaos, dramatic eyeliner, bow ties, meddling matchmakers, an ex who seriously needs to stay in his lane, and one very inconvenient happily ever after. >This is a standalone story in the Pink Matchmakers Universe.
