When Ph.D. candidate Scarlett is forced to play loving wife to her mentor's playboy son, the last thing she expects is to fall for the fantasy herself.
*****
Scarlett Rong has dedicated her life to anthropology, and she wouldn't have it any other way, even if her overbearing Ph.D. mentor makes a social life impossible. Dr. Alexeev has the power to make or break Scarlett's career and there's no way she's risking that. Even if it means getting roped into a holiday scheme that can't possibly be university policy. When Maxwell, the rebellious son of Dr. Alexeev's ex-husband gets into a car accident that leaves him with amnesia, Alexeev is far from heartbroken - in fact, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to find out why he's planning on signing his billion-dollar company away to his best friend for pennies. Before she knows it, Scarlett finds herself playing doting wife to the infamous playboy to find out the truth. But as the lies become more entangled, Scarlett finds herself questioning her involvement in this scheme, and more importantly, what her true feelings are for the handsome billionaire. A fake marriage was hardly on Scarlett's wish list this year, but maybe Maxwell is more of a gift than she initially suspected...
