<p><b>They set rules for the summer - and broke every single one . . .</b><br /><br /><b>Renley Gossage</b> has nothing but a struggling candy shop and a dream. She is determined to make it as Cape Meril's confectionary queen with no help, no shortcuts - and definitely no rich men wielding engagement rings and making things messy.<br /><br /><b>Theo Williams</b> never thought he'd be flying across an ocean to propose to a stranger, but here he is, knocking on Renley's door with a shiny diamond. She's the one person who might be able to stop his life from falling apart, so he's here with a marriage proposal - and more importantly for Renley, a <i>business</i> proposal . . . <br /><br /><b>The Deal:</b> Theo needs a wife so his stiff-upper-lipped father won't cut him off. Renley needs a financial backer, even if she's too stubborn to admit it. <br /><br /><b>The Rules: One fake engagement. One summer. Zero romance.</b&gt; <br /><br />But between collapsing drywall, gossiping neighbours, and the chaotic schemes of Renley's aunt, their forced proximity turns into something dangerously close to real. <br /><br />Except Renley can't let go of the idea that standing on her own two feet means not accepting help. And Theo's past is about to catch up with him. <b>By the time the candy shop doors reopen, they'll have to decide if this is just a summer fling - or a happily ever after worth breaking the rules for . . . </b></p>
