The plan was simple: fake the wedding, save her career. Then she met the best man.

Vivian Whitlock's social media empire is about to crumble. She's closing in on thirty, and her fans are moving on to their 'weddings and babies' era. About to be dropped by her management team, she pretends she and her secret boyfriend are ready to take the plunge.

There's just one problem: he doesn't exist.

Enter Dominic James, a charismatic actor working at the idyllic Paradise Bay Resort. He's got Broadway dreams and the perfect cover story. The two strike a deal—he'll play her doting fiancé, and she'll launch him into New York stardom.

But Vivian's picture-perfect plan takes an unexpected turn when she moves into the beachside bungalow Dominic shares with his brother, Ben—an intense, fiercely-devoted single dad with no time for romance.
