David Wolfe is next in line for VP at the insurance company
where he has spent the last six years. Well respected in his
industry but pretty much a player in his personal life. So
much so he invents a fiancée to keep him in good stead with
the family image of the company. As far as they know all
these trips and vacations were taken with his lovely fiancé
not the flavor of the week. He didn't feel he broke any
rules just bent them a lit. But now his boss expects him to
bring the fiancé to the next board dinner. Feather in his
hat to be asked until he realized they wanted - no -
expected to meet the elusive love of his life before making
his dream of VP a reality.
Funny how a lie eventual rears up its ugly head and bites
you. Well you get the picture. His sister Sarah to the
rescue with the news that family friend Chelsea is in Philly
looking to start a catering business. Maybe Chelsea would
consider standing in as fiancé and in return temporarily use
his extra bedroom and amazing kitchen to jump start her
business. Win-win. But Sarah has an ulterior motive, payback
for David signing her up with an online dating website.
Payback is dear.
Unknown to David, Chelsea has harbored feelings for him
since they were teens. But with the exception of gentle
teasing -- Chelsea was invisible. But once he spies this
luscious sexy beauty waiting for some lucky guy and then
realizes he's the lucky guy -- well Chelsea is no longer
invisible. Good news is that she is willing to play the role
and once she sees his home with its magnificent kitchen the
deal is sealed with one proviso. With the exception of the
occasional command appearance with his company there is no
personal contact. Well of course that is easier said than
done as they both get reacquainted and Chelsea realizes that
David is still the one. David on the other hand can't get
over how Chelsea has changed and this new Chelsea has gotten
under his skin. So much so he finds himself running home
after work to a homey place filled with yummy aromas and
delicious eats -- oh yes and of course Chelsea's wonderful
meals. The way to a man is his stomach -- watch out David --
your fake fiancé can be changing your life in ways you never
imagined.
I've never met a book by Nancy Warren I didn't like. And MY
FAKE FIANCÉE is no exception. Filled with clever bantering
and intelligence the story of David and Chelsea unfolds by
bits and pieces and you are glad to be along for the ride.
As a secondary storyline you are equally thrilled by Sarah's
quest for love. Enjoy.
