Bridget McKinnon would do anything for her feisty ailing grandma Maura. She'll even stay close to home and serve up green beer in the Purple Shamrock instead of pursuing her own culinary dreams. But money's tight. So when a stranger with a sexy brogue asks about the apartment she's renting out, Bridget hopes she's landed a little piece of Irish luck...only to find she's knee-deep in a crazy plan that's turning her life upside down.

College professor Finn O'Hearn needs this job in Rendezvous Falls--his visa may depend on it. If he can convince his beautiful but tightly wound landlord to be his pretend fiancée, his boss will be happy--as will Bridget's matchmaking grandma and her meddling book club. Finn and Bridget fool (almost) everyone with their sizzling glances and toe-curling kisses...even as they tell themselves it's only make-believe.

Playing a part has never been so easy. But when love is real, it's time to find the courage to start playing by heart...
