Young librarian Riley Harris has always maintained her
independence, leaving the drama of love to anyone silly
enough to fall for it. Her Jane Austen novels are as
close as she cares to get to “true love.” Luckily, her
handsome upstairs neighbor—and landlord—Will Henderson
feels the same way.
Since his ex-fiancé crushed his heart, Will devotes
himself to charity in an effort to atone for the misdeeds
of his wealthy, ruthless father. So when Will needs a
date for his brothers high-society wedding, he asks Riley
to be his faux girlfriend.
After a spontaneous kiss throws both Riley and Will for a
loop, they find themselves fighting their mutual pride
and prejudice against love. And when Riley is rocked by
something from Will's past, both will need to decide
whether to follow their heads or their hearts...
