Tess Newhart knows her ex-boyfriend Nick Jamieson isn't
the right guy for her. He's caviar and champagne, she's
take-out Chinese pot stickers. He's an uptight Republican
lawyer, she was raised in a commune and thinks Cinderella
is politically incorrect. He wants to get ahead in
business, she just wants . . . him — only not the social-
climbing Nick, but the sweet, caring, unbuttoned-down Nick.
And Nick wants her, too, but there's no way Tess is about
to play second fiddle to his obsession to make partner.
Yet somehow she finds herself agreeing to play his fiancée
for a weekend business trip that could make or break
Nick's career. And while he's wrapped up in convincing
Tess that he needs her in his respectable world, Tess is
doing her best to keep her left-wing opinions to herself
and her hands off Nick.
