But there's one thing his wealth and brilliance can't fix: his mother's growing desperation to see him married before she dies. Victoria Knight, a legendary former actress with old Hollywood glamour and an iron will, has watched her daughter settle into married bliss with two children. Now she's turning her relentless focus on Julian, summoning him home for Christmas with one mission: explain why he's still alone, or let her choose his bride. Panicked and out of options, Julian takes his colleague's advice-hire someone to play the part.

The contract seems straightforward: survive Christmas dinner with one of Hollywood's most intimidating matriarchs, convince everyone that a street-smart girl from the wrong side of town could capture the heart of America's most eligible bachelor, and walk away rich enough to disappear forever.

As Elena learns to navigate crystal glasses and three-course meals, and Julian discovers what it's like to be with someone who sees past his money, their fake relationship starts feeling dangerously real. When the week is over, will Elena take the money and run-or will Julian finally understand what he's been missing all these years?
