In this bright, laugh-out-loud rom-com, the grind of the millennial struggle is a lot more fun when you add falling in love to the mix, perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Beth OLeary.Isla Jane is living the millennial nightmare. Shes got a shiny new MBA and no way to pay for it, thanks to her dead-end entry-level job, and nowhere to live, thanks to her miserable salary. Going home to her parents is not possible, but for once Islas brother may be her saving grace. Hes out of town on business for a month, meaning the guest room in his condo is blissfully empty.Or so Isla thinks, until she runs into Cade Greenley, her brothers best friend-whos crashing there while his own condo is undergoing renovations. When a desperate plan to sleep under her desk miraculously turns into a house-sitting job for one of the big bosses at her office, Isla is certain her luck has turned-with no one, Cade included, the wiser. Its a perfect solution-until Cade catches her sunbathing at a mansion that is definitely not hers, and she admits shes house-sitting because she cant afford rent.The pair strike a deal-Cade will keep Islas secret from her overbearing parents if she agrees to pose as his girlfriend at a few upcoming corporate events. The fun and friendly vibe of his office is a surprise compared to hers, but the biggest shock is that each date with Cade feels less and less fake. Suddenly shes looking forward to every minute they spend together while the chemistry between them sizzles. As Islas house-sitting scheme begins to unravel, she'll have to face the fact that her biggest lie of all is the one she's telling herself: that she's not falling in love with Cade.
