Lucy Callahan has always had a love-hate relationship with marriage-on paper, she loves it. In real life, not so much. As a rising wedding planner in Seattle, Lucy knows how to design the perfect day for others but doesn't believe in the whole "happily ever after" for herself. After her engagement spectacularly imploded two years ago, she vowed to focus on her career and leave the notion of marriage behind. But when a popular wedding blog dubs her "Seattle's Marriage Scrooge," Lucy's business takes a nosedive.
Enter Alex Chen, a divorce lawyer who thrives on ending marriages as quickly as possible. He's smart, charming, and doesn't believe in long-lasting love-his job makes sure of that. When Alex's sister insists that he help Lucy rebrand her image by agreeing to a "fake" marriage for publicity, neither of them is thrilled about the idea. Yet, they agree to embark on a whirlwind (and fake) marriage to restore Lucy's business and put a fresh spin on Alex's image.
But as they stage this faux romance-complete with wedding cakes, first dances, and a honeymoon trip through the Pacific Northwest-sparks begin to fly for real. Lucy starts to see marriage in a new light, while Alex finds himself questioning everything he once believed about love. Will this fake relationship lead to something real, or are they destined to sign divorce papers in the end?
