Catalina Martín is in a bind. After a white lie about having an American boyfriend spirals out of control, she's now obligated to bring him to her sister's destination wedding in Spain. With only weeks to spare, and her family eager to meet her mysterious beau, the pressure is on. But finding a willing participant to cross the Atlantic and play the part proves impossible, until her infuriating, 6'4" blue-eyed colleague, Aaron Blackford, shockingly offers to step in. Aaron is the bane of Catalina's existence, a man whose very presence makes her blood boil. Yet, he seems to be her only option. Forced into a fake relationship with the last person she'd ever choose, Catalina must navigate family expectations, cultural differences, and her own deeply-rooted animosity towards Aaron, all while trying to keep up appearances. What starts as a desperate charade in the picturesque Spanish countryside slowly begins to unravel, blurring the lines between their staged romance and a burgeoning, undeniable connection that neither of them expected.
