When a friend from my past needs a stand-in girlfriend for his brother’s wedding, I’m happy to play the part. I soon discover that hanging out with a good man can be just as fun as a night out on the town. Liam is tall, handsome, and makes every night feel like a honeymoon. But will I stick to my party ways or can I settle down for love? Liam As an accountant, I know how to calculate risk. But working with numbers 24/7 hasn’t been great for my love life.
