About the Book
Sarah Strohmeyer takes on a classic romance trope with a twist. Eugenia "Genie" Michaels, a college admissions counselor, is as surprised as anyone when her long-time boyfriend appears on television and proposes to the love of his life -- the woman he's having an affair with. While Hugh takes off for England, a depressed and hurt Genie is persuaded that she might as well have fun being engaged. So she gets herself a ring and watches as the gifts roll in.
Needless to say, complications arise as Genie tries to fake her way through an engagement. One complication, a sexy carpenter named Nick, is enough to make her want to confess all...
