There are three main things that, currently, get under Rose Knight's skin.
Number one, her sister is getting married to her ex-boyfriend.
Number two, her relationship with her mom is tolerable--at best.
And number three, she's been sleeping with the man who she claims, time and time again, she cannot stand. A man who also happens to be her co-worker.
Everything else, though, is pretty much perfect.
Until her mom walks into her apartment and catches Elliott Maxwell about to leave Rose's apartment and mistakes him for Rose's boyfriend and, well, with her relationship with her mom already so volatile, Rose does the stupid thing and goes along with it. She had no idea it would turn into her mother inviting Elliott to their home in New Jersey for Rose's sister's wedding weekend.
But Elliott's got enough baggage of his own to want to be around Rose's family--or attend a wedding.
And yet, Rose somehow talks him into pretending to be her boyfriend for the weekend.
And yet, Elliott finds himself agreeing.
And yet, despite their dislike for one another, the weekend suddenly becomes one neither of them will be able to shake off.
