Some men handle rejection with dignity. Thomas is apparently not one of them.

Imagine planning the perfect marriage proposal.

You’ve got the expensive ring. You’ve got the romantic Detroit Riverwalk backdrop. Your entire family is waiting to witness the happiest moment of your life.

There’s just one tiny problem.

Your girlfriend isn’t coming.

Actually, it’s worse.

She dumps you by TEXT.

Now, a sensible man might cancel the proposal, send his family home, and find a quiet place to lick his wounds.

But Finn?

Oh, honey. Finn has never been accused of making sensible decisions under pressure.

Instead, he spots her.

She’s beautiful, broke, heartbroken, and having what might be the worst month of her life. She’s lost her job, her boyfriend, and nearly every reason to believe tomorrow will be any better than today.

And this fool walks up and asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend so he can propose.

To a complete stranger. In front of his MOTHER.

Because apparently public humiliation is worse than committing to an elaborate lie involving a diamond ring.

She has nothing to lose.

Finn has a reputation to protect.

And neither one has the slightest idea how badly this arrangement is about to backfire.

One fake proposal. One very real problem.

What happens when Finn’s mother falls in love with her son’s new fiancée?

What happens when a woman who’s never had much of anything suddenly finds herself surrounded by a family determined to love her?

And what happens when Finn discovers the stranger he chose out of desperation might be the one woman capable of changing everything about him?

Oh, SneakReaders, this is about to get messy.

And you know I love messy. 😈
