The truth? Well, that's just something you'll have to decide for yourself.
This is my version of our collision.

Jackson Porter, a renowned British author known for his playboy antics, has just been nominated for a prestigious book award. There's just one problem, what judge would take a romantic novel written by a playboy philanthropist seriously?
With tattoos, an unruly attitude, minimal patience, and his rocky past, the press never lacks a field day. However, with the help of his scummy publicist Alex a scheme is formed, possibly the one of the most outlandish of publicity stunts.
They're to form a new life, a lie for the press to eat up as Jackson's turned a new leaf. But what happens when someone falls into his lap who isn't part of his plan? Someone who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and just happens to be absolutely perfect for him?
Maggie Carpenter flips his world upside down as he copes with the fact that she's unexpectedly become engrained in his schemes and he can't seem to find a way out, at least one where he gets to keep her.
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
