He's acting royalty. She's a nurse at The Royal hospital. What happens when their scripted romance starts to feel too real...?
When Ellie bluffs her way into a high-end party with her best friend, the last thing she expects is to end up going home with infamous actor Alex King, because he's too drunk to remember what hotel he's staying in. But when the paparazzi catch them together the morning after, their new friendship suddenly becomes the tabloids' front page.
Alex needs a plus-one. Not only is his brother marrying his ex, but he's become the villain in the eyes of the press. With a loved-up date by his side, the public might finally see him as moving on and his new play might finally get the ticket sales it needs to not close down.
But a wedding in the Bahamas, surrounded by gorgeous celebrities, with the paparazzi lurking everywhere, is plus-sized Ellie's worst nightmare. Even as Alex's displays of affectionate become more real and less fake, will she lose a part of herself during their pact?
