Catalina Martin has a problem. After impulsively telling her family she has an American boyfriend, she now needs one to accompany her to her sister's wedding in Spain - where her ex who broke her heart will be the best man. With just four weeks until the event, desperation is setting in. Enter Aaron Blackford - six-foot-four of brooding intensity and her workplace nemesis for the past twenty-two months. When he unexpectedly offers to be her fake boyfriend, Catalina is more baffled than grateful. "I might be desperate to find a date, but I'm not that desperate," she thinks, mentally listing increasingly absurd alternatives from dating apps to newspaper ads. Yet as other options disappear and time runs short, Aaron's proposition becomes her only solution. His condition? She must attend an important industry gala with him first. What begins as a straightforward arrangement quickly becomes anything but, as the lines between pretense and reality start to blur in ways neither expected.
