Emory needs a win, a promotion...and a date to her ex-fiancée's Hollywood wedding in this sapphic fake-relationship rom com.


Emory Jordan has been rising through the ranks of the boys' club at a venture capital firm in New York, where she's competing for her dream promotion. When Emory's estranged ex-girlfriend Mari—who broke off their engagement to pursue her acting ambitions—sends her a wedding invitation, it's the perfect opening for Emory to pitch a business deal to Mari's new tech mogul fiancé. More importantly, it's a chance for Emory to prove to Mari that she has moved on from their breakup. The wrench in her plans: she's been putting work at the top of her to-do list, and there's nobody she can ask to be her plus-one.


But Emory has a knack for business strategy. Bliss Tully, a struggling florist with a good-vibes-only attitude, accidentally stabs her with a cactus, and Emory sees an opportunity. Bliss is short on trust—her father's white-collar crimes left her with a deep aversion to the business world—but she's also short on cash, so she agrees to pose as Emory's fiancée. The job is only for a month and pretending should be easy money. Right? Mari's wedding approaches, and Emory and Bliss grow closer, all too aware their engagement is nothing more than a thirty-day sham. As far as kissing the bogus bride, though, they both want to say I do....


You are cordially invited to the fakeout in this slow-burn contemporary romance about letting go of the past—and loving your future.

      Decker’s sapphic, opposites-attract debut has both humor and heart but gets bogged down by crowded prose. The last thing business-minded Emory Jordan wants is to attend her ex-fiancée’s destination wedding, but her venture capitalist boss implies it could be a great opportunity to network with the influential groom, so she RSVPs with a plus-one—despite being single. With a promotion on the line, Emory must scramble to find a date. Free-spirited Bliss Tully is struggling to make ends meet while launching her company, Bliss Foliage, but gets a big break when she lands a gig beautifying the offices of Emory’s employer. When the two women (literally) collide, Emory impulsively asks Bliss to be her fake wedding date. Bliss worries an office romance—even a fake one—might jeopardize her job, but Emory persuades her with the offer of a hefty stipend. As the pair get to know each other over dress fittings and lunch dates in the lead-up to the weeklong wedding vacation, real love blooms. The characters are endearing and their relationship believable, but endless quotidian details (including every time the women interact with a waiter during a lunch date) make some scenes difficult to wade through. Still, Decker shows real promise.
