Maddox - The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I'm a liar. When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire. Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend-the boyfriend who doesn't exist because I'm straight. At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I'm bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.

Eine vorgetäuschte Ehe mit Londons berüchtigtsten Junggesellen... eine wirklich schlechte Idee. Sinclair Amadeus Sterling, unfassbar reich und mächtig, bietet mir einen Job an. Einziger Haken? Der Milliardär verlangt von mir, dreißig Tage seine Ehefrau zu mimen. Er ist arrogant, kontrollierend – und bei unserer ersten Begegnung habe ich dem Mistkerl dahin getreten, wo es ordentlich wehtut. Das Einzige, was noch schlimmer ist als sein nicht unerheblicher Gott-Komplex, ist sein fehlender Sinn für Humor.

And because he's still pining after his ex-girlfriend and I'm trying to finish my nursing degree, there is nothing to worry about in the romance department, making my last semester an easy one to conquer. Boy, was I wrong.

It’s a classic story: Boy meets girl, girl breaks boy’s heart, boy pretends to be gay to get back at girl, girl outs boy to everyone on Facebook…okay, maybe it’s not that classic. But it’s what happened to me. When I bump into my cheating ex and catch sight of the moon-sized rock on her finger, there’s only one option to save face: pretend to be dating my gay best friend, Declan. And when she outs me on Facebook and everyone I know sees it, there’s still only one option: keep pretending to be dating Declan.
