Lucy Lovely never planned to be a fake wife, not that anyone does. When her boss asks her to find a fake wife for him in order to stop his ex from moving his kids to another state, Lucy comes up blank. Who was desperate enough to sign up to be the third Mrs. Leo Montgomery? No one, until she realizes she knows the perfect desperate woman: herself. Why had she agreed to this crazy scheme when her sisters were falling madly in love, one after another? She was desperate to show her family once and for all she wasn't the screw-up they always saw her as, even as her biggest mess up was yet to come and they didn't even know about it. Which left her settling for a fake love that had an expiration date and a spouse that was sure to cheat. After all, she wasn't his first wife, and she knew what had happened to the others. All she had to do was act like they were in love. Easy. She was already acting like she loved her new job. And acting like she didn't miss working with her sister and their catering company. But when the acting started to feel real, Lucy knew she was screwing up again. Losing her heart had never been a part of the plan.
