When Tessa Montgomery turns to a breakup specialist for help getting rid of her ex, the last thing she expects is to be set up with a fake boyfriend. And while a commanding MMA fighter is exactly what she needs to scare him off, she's not ready for Greer Murphy's sparkling green eyes, wide smile, or the way he makes her laugh. His laid-back attitude drives her to distraction, but she's never felt more protected. It's all just pretend, though. It's all just pretend, though. He'd never be interested in a woman with her kind of baggage, right?
Greer is down for just about anything. Which is why, when he's asked to help out a woman by pretending to be her fake boyfriend, he agrees. But the instant he meets Tessa, all bets are off. She's sophisticated, intelligent, and might be the biggest control freak he's ever met. But he can't recall ever having so much fun with a woman. It's all just pretend, though. A classy woman like her would never fall for a man with a past from the South End of Boston, right?
When Tessa is tasked with going on a road trip through the Northeast to collect a family heirloom, Greer insists on coming along, both to protect her, as well as an excuse to spend more time with her. There's no question Tessa's overplanning and Greer's tendency to fly by the seat of his pants make them complete opposites. But as the miles pass, Tessa starts to see that Greer's attitude is freeing, and Greer realizes he could use a little order in his life. Stuck together in a car for hours on end, they begin to find that there's more to them than a fake relationship. And as they fall deeper in love, they discover that their opposites may just be what's been missing from their lives all along.
