Malo

A slow-burn rom-com full of bad dates, banter, and big feelings.


He’s lost at sea without a plan. She keeps falling asleep before she can make one.

Malo Kane thought the Navy would give him freedom. Eight years later, he’s broke in Seattle and hiding from his family. To pay the bills, he signs on at Foxy’s Rent-a-Date. He just needs to follow two simple rules: keep it professional and don’t get caught.

James Ellison would rather live in her imagination than the real world. Narcolepsy made her a homebody, but her wildly popular, kinky faux-autobiographies turned her into a full-time author with a fiercely loyal fanbase. When her readers demand receipts, she hires Malo to play along.

Their first outing ends in the ER. The second? Another disaster. They swear they’re just friends—but the chemistry says otherwise. Pretty soon, they’re sabotaging their own dates just to keep seeing each other.

He doesn’t know what he wants. She isn’t sure she can handle more than fiction. But when Malo’s family shows up—and James’s secret career comes out—playing pretend won’t cut it anymore.
