Six rooms. Eight weeks. One fake engagement. What could possibly go wrong?
Interior designer Jess Carver has eight weeks to save her business. She needs one stunning finished house to show a fussy French hotel group, and her showpiece client has just pulled out.
Sam Whitlock has a half-restored Georgian house on the river at Topsham, no money left to finish it, and a problem. Last spring, when his grandmother was in hospital, he told her he was engaged. She got better. Now she's turning ninety, she's having her party at his house, and she wants to meet the girl.
So they make a deal, on the back of a paint chart. Jess will finish his house, room by room, and get her showpiece. Sam will get a fiancée for one party.
There's just one complication. Sam's brother is Freddie Whitlock, the man who broke Jess's heart and told her, on his way out of the door, that she was just too difficult to love. And it turns out Sam has been hearing the same thing about himself all his life.
A warm, funny, closed-door romance about home, family, and the courage to be exactly as much as you are.
