"I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you."
Willow is happy with her boyfriend. He is sweet, intelligent and forever getting her flowers. Their relationship is amazing, that is until she finds the asshole in bed with someone else.
Overcome with embarrassment, and with a thirst for vengeance, how can she refuse the sexy stranger's offer of a fake relationship, if only to get revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend? All she has to do is act loved up. Easy right?
Well think again.
Archer is unlike anybody Willow has ever met. Firstly he's hot. Like extremely hot. He's got that brown skin Adonis look going on, and his chiselled face makes her glasses fog up. And she doesn't even wear glasses. He shares her love for Krispy Kreme. Best of all, he laughs at all her jokes, even the horrible ones.
The rules are simple. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a month so the rules shouldn't be that hard to follow, right?
Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans...
When bubbly Emerson Kachi Smith starts working for the handsome Lucas Hendrix, she quickly discovers there's something hot and untamed behind his cold exterior...
*****

Left alone to discover the mystery behind Lucas's cold exterior and to tame her uncontrollable desire to comfort him, she learns they have a lot more in common than she ever thought possible. Could their two lonely hearts share the same dream for happiness?
