From the internationally bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception comes something new to fall in love with...

Josie Moore has given love plenty of chances.

Four, if we're talking failed engagements, or five if you count the very absent, very famous father who kept her existence a secret until very recently. When her father decides to announce his retirement with a splashy magazine piece about the family, Josie finds her complicated romantic history has become a PR nightmare.

Matthew Flanagan has just been fired from his job.

He’s heading back to his hometown of Green Oak, North Carolina to get his life back on track. But instead, he takes a wrong turn, and his car gets stuck in the mud. When he finally arrives, he finds his best friend’s sister, Josie, greeting him as her fiancΓ©.

And he’s not mad about it. The messy misunderstanding quickly turns into an arrangement; Matthew will play along as Josie’s loving fifth fiancΓ© to smooth things over with her father. Despite how good the ring looks on her finger, Josie knows this is only temporary, even if Matthew fits into the role so easily . . .
