Overview

A fake relationship with his frenemy’s straight little brother? Definitely not on Laurent’s bingo card. But destiny has other plans.

Laurent is doing just fine, thank you very much. He doesn’t need matchmaking, and there’s no gaping hole in his life. Work, friends, and dealing with his alcoholic father keep him busy enough.

Enter Cormac King: charming, chaotic, and on the run from his clingy ex. But his perfect hideout in his brother’s empty flat comes with surprises. A cat (manageable) and a cat sitter (decidedly less so.)

Pretending to date? Fine. Flirting for cover? Sure. Falling into bed together? That was definitely not supposed to happen.

But when fake becomes fun—and then something more—Laurent and Cormac will have to decide if they’re still just pretending.

With One Kiss is a standalone MM romance in the Paris Tales series, featuring fake dating, a bi-awakening, sharp banter, and a slow burn with heat, heart, and humor. Expect emotional walls, complicated family ties, a relentless ex, and just enough tenderness to make it all worth it.

CW: Alcoholism, deceased parent (mentioned).
