Synopsis

It’s only for the week, then they’ll go their own separate ways. Dumped and alone for the holidays, Emily longs to escape. She’s even willing to write about smug self-help guru Blaze Smith’s book tour, if it will get her a free trip to Italy. She thinks she knows who Blaze is, until his disguise at the airport fools her. Blaze Smith’s manager wants him to fake date someone to save face. Who trusts a relationship expert who’s been publicly dumped? But he already feels like a fraud. But unlike his ex and half the couples he counsels, Emily seems refreshingly real. Make it through the week, help each other out and eat all the pizza, pasta, panettone and gelato. Fooling the paparazzi and pretending to be in love is simple. Realizing you have real feelings about your make-believe romance is complicated.
