When struggling café delivery girl Quinn Willa Conrad accidentally spills an entire tray of coffee on the icy, immaculately dressed Ellison Talia Lancaster, CEO of one of the most successful company in the country, she expects nothing but a complaint-and maybe a lawsuit. What she doesn't expect is to be dragged into a tabloid scandal she didn't cause.
Rumors of Ellison's "bad attitude" and a public shouting match go viral, threatening her reputation and the company's image. To control the narrative, the Lancaster family spins a lie: the woman caught in the scene wasn't a stranger-she was Ellison's wife. And they were just having a normal couple's spat.
Now, Quinn is offered the opportunity (or trap?) of a lifetime: pose as Ellison's wife for three months. Live in her penthouse. Attend public events. Smile for the cameras. And above all-don't catch feelings.
But as the line between fake and real begins to blur, Quinn and Ellison find that beneath their differences, something very real is starting to grow. In a world built on contracts, can love find a loophole?

And - although she promised Marcie their relationship was strictly professional - Roz might just be returning her awkward, bumbling advances. When lines begin to blur and career prospects end up on the line, Marcie is sure of one thing: either she gives up on her dreams, or her dream woman.
