Deborah Baxter, the personal assistant to a powerful CEO, never expected her boss would want her to pose as his fake fiancée. She is plenty attracted to him, but she's a 38-year-old single mother—now turned empty-nester—who hasn't dated in years. Does she really want to go on romantic dates with her boss of twenty years? She says 'yes' anyway.

At 49, Daniel Ellington has everything a billionaire could want—except maybe romantic happiness. And that's only because he doesn't really want it—there's much to be said about shallow affairs when you are a busy man. But now reliable sources are telling him he is about to be named one of the country's ten most eligible bachelors by People Magazine, and that kind of tabloid attention is the last thing he wants. Having his assistant pose as his fiancée seems to be the ideal answer, at least at first.

Their whirlwind fake—or is it real—romance explodes on social media. The loss of privacy drives Daniel nuts. But these troubles are nothing compared to Deborah's refusal to date him for real. What is his assistant keeping secret? And more importantly, how can he change her mind?
