Lia Martin has everything that she could possibly want in her life. An international contract attorney in her thirties, she has a job that most people would only dream of, where she gets paid to travel to tropical honeymoon locations around the world and makes more than enough money to support the lavish lifestyle to which she has become accustomed. But her life takes an interesting turn when she wakes up after a car accident to find herself in possession of something she thought she never wanted – a stunning heirloom engagement ring and a devastatingly handsome stranger that allegedly gave it to her.

Jack Calhoun has trouble written all over him. A favorite of the tabloids for decades, he has gotten more than his share of negative press from being the philandering, bad-boy of the cooking scene, as well as the son of a media-darling socialite and respected captain of industry. On the verge of opening his first restaurant, near disaster strikes, throwing Jack into a dilemma that can only be solved by showing up with his fiancée. Enter Lia.

Neither Jack nor Lia has any intention of settling down. This faux engagement of theirs is just meant to be a way for each of them to get what they ultimately want – which, for Jack, means the funding to open his restaurant. And Lia? Well, her mother might finally stop trying to arrange marriages for her. At least, that’s what Jack has told her.

There is so much about the mysterious Jack that doesn’t make sense to Lia, and not just because she doesn’t remember him at all, let alone to agreeing to be his fake fiancée. Jack claimed that they barely knew each other before their “arrangement,” but that doesn’t seem to line up with the way that he is around her. There’s more to Jack and whatever lies between them than he’s telling her, and Lia makes it her personal mission to find out exactly what that is. The more time that she spends with him, the deeper she starts to fall, but Lia is determined to reveal the truth about who Jack really is, even if she breaks her own heart in the process.
