Susan Ryder has a knack for drawing attention—even when she doesn’t mean to—and her boss, Andrew Landor, sees an opportunity. When Andrew’s son, Simon Maynard, becomes infatuated with Susan, Andrew proposes a plan: they’ll pretend to be engaged to keep suitors at bay while Susan pursues her dream of working in Paris. With a ring of her own choosing and a growing alliance, the ruse begins to blur the lines between performance and feeling—especially when Susan starts to realize her heart isn’t playing along.

Candy Jones is ready to walk away from her job and the man she loves—Ted Miller—believing his promises of affection are just words. As she prepares to leave, the quiet ache of uncertainty lingers, not just about her future, but about whether she ever truly knew what love meant.
