Until Henry Samuel Beckettβor Beck, as heβs known to mostβtells her the secret underneath his sunny surface: Heβs been single all his life. But in a moment of panic, heβs told everyone at his publishing house that heβs married. And when Connie, an aspiring writer herself, canβt help defending him, she ends up being the fake wife he doesnβt actually have.
When they head off on a writing retreat, surrounded by people convinced this must be a ruse, both of them can't help but agree. Until they share their first kiss, their first touch, their first time in only one bed. Side by side, every night, as the simmering tension buildsβ¦Connie starts to wonder if this might be real after all.
