Cary Brown, editor-in-chief at one of New York’s largest publishing houses, leads a peaceful life: a job she loves, a caring family… everything she needs to be happy.

But as her twenty-ninth birthday approaches, the pressure begins to mount. Her family hopes to see her settled before she turns thirty. The problem? Love has never been her strong suit.

Caught off guard, Cary invents an imaginary boyfriend… one she now has to make real for Christmas dinner. That’s when she meets Tyler Richards, a famous and irresistibly charming tennis player.

Between hesitation and sparks, a dangerous little game begins. But will this harmless lie remain innocent, or could it change her life forever?
