“Meet your family?”

Sophie knew getting physically involved with Nigel was risky, both to her heart and her mind, but flying all the way to Cumbria, England, to be his plus one at his sister’s wedding? And for Valentine’s Day?

That was more than just taking a step in a dangerous direction—it was practically bungee jumping off a cliff. Meeting the family, attending a wedding that would equate to something from royalty and pretending to be his girlfriend for the sake of duping his family?

More lies might just do in her mental state and she wasn’t sure she could keep all of them straight.

“I know this is out of nowhere,” Nigel stated, raking a hand through his hair, clearly stressed.

She’d only known him a short time, but she’d never seen him this flustered. Clearly he was in a bind and wasn’t any more comfortable asking her than she was being invited. She also had to assume that he wouldn’t have come to her had he’d had another choice.

“My grandmother is quite persistent,” he added, his dark eyes pleading with her.

“But, what about my job here?” she asked, still reeling from the out-of-the-blue request. “I mean, what will everyone think? First I’m hired as a consultant, then I’m put in charge of heading up the marketing for the wedding episode that may or may not happen, then I go to an award ceremony with you and now a family wedding back at your home?”

Her mind was spinning just saying all of this out loud. Talk about a whirlwind experience. But the biggest issue for her was the thing she didn’t dare say aloud—between getting swept up with Nigel and his charm and sex appeal, and her inability to deny him anything, she was running out of time to uncover information on Miranda. Every angle she’d tried ended up a dead end. Everyone she spoke to absolutely loved the woman.

“I know it looks crazy... It is crazy,” he amended, reaching for her hands. “Nobody here has to know about where we’re actually going. I can say I have you going on a trip to scout potential locations for the show.”

More lying. For someone who used to pride herself on honesty, she’d fallen down the rabbit hole of deceit and she wasn’t sure she’d find her way back out anytime soon.

If she went away with him, Sophie knew they’d pick up where they’d left off the other night... That both thrilled and terrified her. She’d never wanted anyone the way she wanted Nigel and that was what scared her most. How could she ever let him go?

Nigel’s strong hands held hers as he continued to stare at her, imploring her with his eyes.

“How long will we be gone?” she asked.

A toe-curling smile spread across his face. “Five days.”

Five days in an English countryside estate with a man she was quickly falling for, during which she’d have to pretend to be his girlfriend so his family would get off his back. Seriously, what could go wrong?

Sophie had lied to get to this point and now she was taking this acting skill on an international tour.
