The thought of getting a fake fiancée was outrageous. When my best friend brings up the idea, hinting that it’s a brilliant way to survive socialite wedding season and my mother’s incessant attempts to set me up, I laugh it off. I’m a grumpy SOB with a hotel empire to run and expand—my life is already too busy. I barely have time to attend a week-long string of weddings at my hotel, let alone find a woman who would play along with something so outlandish. Yet the idea sticks with me.

We’ll make a deal, but I have no intention of giving her up after the week is over. Now that I’ve met Charlotte, I realize a fake fiancée isn’t good enough—I need a wife. All I have to do is convince her that this game of pretend we’ve being playing is real.
