Desperate to escape a parade of unwanted suitors, she asks her childhood crush to be her decoy fiancé. Liam Murphy is a venture capitalist who learns that his inheritance is contingent on being married. A marriage of convenience will get Daisy's matchmaking relatives off her back and fulfil the terms of his late grandmother's will. When Daisy and Liam go on a series of dates to legitimise their fake relationship, they realise that very little is convenient about their arrangement. -- adapted from back cover.
