Let’s talk about a man who has everything and appreciates nothing.
Meet Finn.
Semi-wealthy. Handsome. Well-dressed. Spoiled rotten by a mother who thinks the sun rises and sets on her precious baby boy.
He has nice clothes, expensive meals, a comfortable home, and a family that loves him.
And still?
This man finds something to complain about.
Now meet Ahdilah.
She’s unemployed.
She’s drowning in debt.
She’s killed her boyfriend and unborn child in an accident.
No family is waiting to check on her, and no friends are rushing over with ice cream and encouraging words. She’s burned all those bridges.
And life?
Well, let’s just say what’s the point?
No one cared. Life has no meaning anymore.
Meanwhile, Finn probably complains when the air outside isn’t to his liking.
Sir. Please.
When a fake fiancée becomes a very real wake-up call
Finn never expected the stranger he proposed to on the Detroit Riverwalk to challenge everything he believes about success, happiness, and money.
She doesn’t care about his expensive watch.
She isn’t impressed by his fancy car.
And she certainly doesn’t think he deserves applause for thinking the world revolves around him.
But she does notice something beneath his arrogance.
A man who has spent his entire life trying to impress people instead of figuring out what actually makes him happy.
And Finn begins noticing things about her, too.
How she is meticulous in what she does.
How she hides her sadness behind sarcastic remarks.
How she acts as though needing someone is the most dangerous thing in the world.
And how a woman with so little can somehow make him feel richer than he’s ever been.
Of course, neither one is supposed to fall in love.
They’re pretending, remember?
So why is Finn getting jealous and wishing he could convince her to stay?
Why does she keep thinking about kissing a man she’s supposed to be fooling?
And why is this ridiculous arrangement beginning to feel like the first honest relationship either of them has ever experienced?
Oh, the irony.

Because sometimes the person with nothing to lose teaches the person with everything what love is actually worth.
And sometimes she makes him work very, very hard for that first real kiss. 😏
