Trish isn’t asking for the world – she just wishes her dream man wasn’t marrying someone else.

At thirty-seven, Trish Carne is getting by, living above her pet shop, Paws for Life. Yet Trish has no pets, no best friend, and no boyfriend. What she does have are four wedding invites stuck on her fridge, and her body clock is ticking to the peal of church bells.

But Trish’s dream man is marrying someone else. Going solo to
his wedding is unthinkable; attending four alone is a nightmare of epic proportions. Trish needs a miracle – or at least a plus-one.

There is one man she can guarantee is single: Arlo Hartless. He’s arrogant, successful, infuriatingly handsome, and the last man on Earth Trish would ever date. He’s back in Bluewater Bay for his granddad’s wedding… to Trish’s ninety-year-old nan.

Arlo breezes through life with his charm, but he tosses women aside like confetti, and Trish doesn’t believe a word when her nan says he’s changed. But desperate times call for desperate measures. And Arlo owes Trish a massive favour.

Four weddings. One fake boyfriend. Absolutely no kissing allowed... what could possibly go wrong?
