Jessica Wild isn’t big on commitment. But after inheriting
millions from Grace, a sweet old lady she met in her
grandmother’s nursing home, the situation seems to have
changed. To put an end to the many questions about her
nonexistent love life, Jess had led Grace to believe she had
a boyfriend-turned-fiancé-turned-husband: her glamorous
boss, Anthony Milton. But Jess’s fantasy to keep Grace happy
has backfired–Grace has passed away and left her fortune not
to Jessica Wild but to Mrs. Jessica Milton.
Having
weighed all legal options, Jess comes to the realization
that there’s only one thing she can do: get Anthony to fall
in love with her and pop the question for real. With help
from her feisty best friend, Helen, Jess reluctantly learns
the art of flirting, seduction, and playing hard to get. But
just when it appears that Anthony is about to ask the
(literal) million-dollar question, Jess finds herself
wondering if it’s right to say “I do” for all the wrong
reasons.
