Clarise Carson is desperate to keep her newly engaged sister from playing matchmaker at her very own engagement party. She can't think of anything more embarrassing than having her sister's guests see her as the loser in love who can't find "The One", so she drags a handsome friend to be her pretend date for the night.

Will Matthews attends his friend's engagement party purely for business reasons. He has no desire whatsoever to be introduced to single females who are after a boyfriend. He is far too focused on building his business to the success he dreams.

When Will and Clarise meet, sparks fly. Can Clarise stop her old wounds from opening up and take another chance at love? And how can Will learn to embrace the one thing he doesn't even know he wants?
