| After her fiancé died, Lili Alster had been given a few years to grieve by her family, but that time has ended. Her family feels it is now time for her to find a "good man," settle down, and have a family. The only issue is that she has NO intentions of doing that, and has come up with the perfect plan to get her family off her back. She is going to hire an escort to pose as her fiancé at an upcoming family function and have him become such an unbearable jerk that her family will be happy when she breaks it off with him. With a plan like this, nothing can go wrong, right? Wrong!
Lili chooses Hal as her "fiancé." Not a spectacular beauty, but a man whose face is honest and not intimidating at all. Too bad Hal is a bit of a klutz and has a way of messing up every "date" he has ever been on. Hal needs the money badly and wants to do the very best job he can at being Lili's fiancé and proving that he is "Mr. Wrong" for her family. Too bad… he could be Mr. Right! Can they pull this charade off? Will their burgeoning feelings get in the way of the "break-up"? Can the two of them overcome their pasts and face this bold new future? Megan Hart wove a humorous tale about a woman trying to get her well-meaning but determined family off her back. Hal is just as sweet and real and the man any woman would want to bring home to mother. Both Lili and Hal have to grow beyond their pasts to truly understand what life can bring. A great story! Impossible to put down!
