When Jane Bennett agrees to a fake engagement with the man of her dreams, she has no idea how she'll reveal her true feelings to him before the truth needs to be told.

It's a truth universally acknowledged that all celebrity relationships are faked. That's certainly true for telenovela star Carlos Bingley. From his first kiss to his first girlfriend, it's all been staged for the cameras. Needing a break from the glare of the spotlight, Carlos heads back to his hometown of Austen Valley, where he comes face to face with the girl next door. The truth of the matter is that, for more than half his life, Jane has been the only woman with any real claim to his heart.

Jane Bennett is easily the best pageant gown designer in all of Austen Valley. The truth is, she hates it. Jane would much rather spend her time designing environmentally conscious activewear than sewing on another sequin. Another truth Jane won't acknowledge is the crush she's developed on her childhood friend turned superstar. But when a gossip rag snaps an innocent picture of her and Carlos, and the angle makes it look like they're caught in a passionate embrace, the splash it makes in the tabloids sends both their lives in an uproar.

Faking anything with Jane is the last thing that Carlos wants to do, not when his feelings for the woman are very real. Using Carlos for his celebrity is the last thing Jane would do, especially when she knows how much lies have hurt him in the past. But as his fans ship the two of them, Jane's online sales for her activewear line go through the roof. Meanwhile, Hollywood loves this real guy side of Carlos and the offers for bigger roles come calling. With their stars on the rise, can these two admit that their fake relationship is based on real feelings? And if the fans find out the love affair started as a farce, will they cancel the couple and bring an end to both Jane and Carlos' careers?

Get swept off your feet by this clean and wholesome, laugh out loud romantic comedy filled with sweet and swoony situations and a heartwarming happily-ever-after. A Truth Universally Acknowledged is the second in a series of modern day Jane Austen retellings -set on a ranch!
