Shipped

When the fans ship your characters… Is fake dating your enemy, a price worth paying for fame and fortune?

Kit Rivers has finally hit the big time. Not only has he been cast in a leading role in a TV show, it unexpectedly becomes a huge hit. Screaming fans, stalkers the whole thing.
Kit is loving it. It is everything he has ever dreamed of and worked hard for. He doesn’t mind that there are pages and pages of online fanfic shipping his character with his male co-star.
Gorgeous Mackenzie Jones is Hollywood royalty. Someone who was handed fame and fortune on a plate. He rarely deigns to talk to anyone on set. He is cold, aloof and rude. Doing his scenes and fleeing as soon as possible. Kit can’t stand him.
He knows former child stars are usually troubled, but he doesn’t think Mackenzie’s prickly nature hides dark and shocking secrets.
The man is just infuriating. Criminally stunning. Outrageously talented and able to haunt Kit’s every thought.
When the producers decide to write the ship into the show, Kit is not excited, he is resigned. He can see the sense of it. He wants his career to continue to bloom. Kissing scenes and more with the awful Mackenzie are a price he is willing to pay.
But then the producers come up with a plan to drive the fans really wild.
Pretend to fall in love for real.
Tell the world he is dating Mackenzie.
Even though Kit is straight.
Dinners and romantic retreats, all while making sure the paparazzi get juicy shots.
Kit can’t imagine anything worse, but it’s not like a bit of fake dating ever led to anything, is it?
