Public Enemy

“How about I hire you to be my fiancée”

“What?” I look at him as though he’s off his rocker. “That’s insane! People don’t go around hiring fiancées. Besides why would you pay me when any girl would willingly do it for you free?”

“That’s the thing. Any girl would willingly do it and fall in love with me.” Brian announced like a martyr.

“You poor, poor boy” I stated sarcastically.

Brian chose to ignore that. “You’re the only girl I’ve met who hasn’t fallen for my charms, and frankly after this evening, doesn’t seem the least bit inclined to. Plus you don’t seem a least bit impressed with my name either.”

“I’ll pay you a salary and everything. After a decent period of time we’ll say we broke up and part ways. No heartbreak, no emotional mess and no unnecessary complications. All we have to do is convince my mother and older brother that we’re genuinely in love. So what do you think?” He asked eagerly.

When Fiona Lyon is kicked by her famous parents, she has no roof upon her head nor a dime to her name. In a moment of impulse she agrees to pretend to be the fiance of Brian Clementine, a player who needs to convince his famous older brother that he is in love.

Who would have thought this charade would make her a Public Enemy?
