Fake it until you make it…
The Proposal: Adeline Rigby will live with Accountant Jack Foster and pretend to be his fake fiancée for one month in order for him to seal a promotion to partner. In return, Accountant Jack Foster will intimately tutor Adeline Rigby in French before she leaves for Paris where she will fulfill her dream of attending Le Cordon Bleu.
The Terms:
1. Maintain distance. Three get-to-know-you dates before announcing their engagement will be tempting enough.
2. No kissing. Okay, fine. Three kisses. Maybe four. And neck kisses don’t count.
3. No touchy feely stuff. Or at least not too many public displays of touchy-feely stuff.
4. No sex.
5. All right, all right. One night of sex in order to be a believable engaged couple.
6. Two nights of mind-blowing sex to make sure first night wasn’t a fluke.
7. Absolutely, positively, no falling in love.
"What I thought was going to be just a light romantic comedy turned out to be that and so much more.

I am glad that I did!" - Heather P., NetGalley

"One of the most humorously entertaining stories I've read.Filled with sass, attitude, love and lots of romance, you can't help but fall a bit in love with Jack and Adeline yourself." - Becky B., Goodreads
