A marriage of convenience can test even the best of friends.


Holden Henry is every girl's dream-kind, funny, outgoing. A catch in every sense. Despite my wrong-side-of-the-tracks upbringing, he's been my friend forever. He has no idea I've had more-than-friends feelings for him for years, and I intend to keep it that way.


When I'm forced to return to the small town where we grew up, I'm faced with a big, fat problem. Being a good pal, Holden offers me a too-tempting solution: a marriage of convenience. It's a crazy plan...but I'm desperate enough to try it. Besides, he's not just saving me, we'll be helping each other.


The catch? We have to stay married for a year. But once I inherit the company of my dreams and Holden launches his own start-up, we can go back to being just friends, right? Except...what if he figures out that I've been in love with him forever? Worse, what if I have to choose between the career I've always wanted and the man I can't live without?
