He's acting royalty. She's a nurse at The Royal hospital. What happens when their scripted romance starts to feel too real...?

When Ellie bluffs her way into a high-end party with her best friend, the last thing she expects is to end up going home with infamous actor Alex King, because he's too drunk to remember what hotel he's staying in. When the paparazzi catch them together the morning after, their new friendship suddenly becomes the tabloids' front page!

Alex needs a plus-one. Not only is his brother marrying his ex, but he has become the villain in the eyes of the press. With a loved-up date by his side, the public might finally see him as moving on and his new play might finally get the ticket sales it needs.

But a wedding in the Bahamas, surrounded by gorgeous celebrities, with the paparazzi lurking everywhere, is plus-sized Ellie's worst nightmare. Even as Alex's displays of affection become more real and less fake, will she lose a part of herself during their pact?

Lucy lives in Essex, UK, with her husband, two children, and two cats. She is a director for the RNA where she has volunteered for 4 years and has published 10 historical romances for Mills & Boon which have been translated into German, French and Italian.
