Book Blurb

He hired a boyfriend to win a custody battle. He didn't plan on falling for the world's grumpiest jockey.

Oliver Sandbourne needs a boyfriend, and he needs one fast. Custody of his daughter is on the line, and nothing will say “stable, loving parent” in court like showing up for the hearing with a devoted partner on his arm.

Enter Rent-A-Boyfriend, and more importantly Arden.

Arden O’Reardon is five-foot-nothing of pure attitude, a champion jockey with zero patience for Oliver's ex-pop-star charm, and even less interest in playing house. But Oliver’s daughter adores him, the horses adore him, and somewhere between school events and stable visits where the two do an astounding job of pretending to be together, Oliver starts adoring him, too.

Arden didn't sign up for real feelings. He's got a crush on someone else, his closeted boss, and a career that can't survive a scandal. But every time Oliver needs him, really needs him, Arden is the one who shows up. Riding to the rescue is starting to feel less like a job and more like falling.

When the cameras start rolling, the custody war heats up, and Arden's own house of cards threatens to collapse, the unlikely lovers will have to decide if their rental romance is worth risking everything for.



Race to the Bottom is a slow-burn, opposites-attract, fake-boyfriend MM romance with a grumpy/sunshine jockey and single dad, a scene-stealing kid, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
