When a psychic's advice to "be a knight in shining armor" leads a cupcake shop owner to rescue a sobbing woman from her public breakup, he never expects to fake an engagement by week's end.

Wesley Backus only visited Lady Merla to get his sister and her wife off his back about his love life, but when her cryptic fortune sends him straight to a crying stranger's table, he finds himself volunteering to be her fake boyfriend for the worst week imaginable. Ariana Lochridge just got dumped the day before her family arrives for her cousin's wedding, and facing her judgmental mother without a man seems like social suicide.

What starts as a simple rescue mission turns complicated when Wesley has to share Ariana's hotel room, charm her awful relatives, and somehow convince everyone they're madly in love. The electric chemistry between them makes the fake kisses feel dangerously real, and when her mother's cruel comments push Wesley too far, he shocks everyone by announcing their engagement.

As the wedding week unfolds with family drama and stolen moments, both must decide if their fake relationship is worth making real. From cupcake shop meet-cutes to beachside confessions, this fake dating romance proves that sometimes the best relationships bloom from the most unexpected rescues.
