Charmer Nate Mackenzie is in the middle of a plus-one dilemma for his friend’s wedding.

Any of his recent dates would start dreaming of a solitaire for their own left hand. Worse, going stag will leave him at the mercy of a set-up by his ever-hopeful sisters. Discovering that Saskia Bloom is doing on-line dating research for a website, he strikes a deal. She’ll take the research rather than a relationship and he’ll get a fake date.

There might be no shortage of sexual attraction between them – but as complete opposites will they be at all convincing as a ‘happy couple’… ?

‘I know it’s a cliché, but I physically could not put this book down!’ – Stephanie, 41, Hampshire
