Veronica Grant needed a man to take to her cousin's wedding in order to keep her matchmaking mother at bay. A man like Fergus Kavanagh. He was the perfect suitor – rich, charming and sexy. If he'd accompany Veronica, her mother wouldn't mention marriage in weeks!

Fergus had matchmaking relatives of his own he wanted to avoid, so he proposed a pact: he would be Veronica's pretend lover if she would be his. Only, Fergus did the unthinkable: he fell in love with Veronica. A woman who had a very good reason to stay single.
