A handsome and successful executive with a fear of commitment.
A gorgeous redhead who lied to get her family off her back.
Put them together, and you get one hell of a complicated fake engagement.
I could never say no to a charming young woman–even one who lied about being engaged. Liz is sweet but a bit naive. She’s gotten herself into a bind, so I go along with it. Twirl her around the dance floor. Make nice with her family. Kiss her when her ex comes sniffing around.
Spending time with this bright, intriguing woman is no hardship. It’s fun spoiling her the way a good fiancé should. But it’s not real. It’s a role to play, and I’ve always been a good actor.
In the theater, the act ends when the curtain falls. In real life, will I be able to extract myself from this
situation before Liz gets hurt?
