But Lottie Gardner's meet-cute was a little different. She was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take her as his bride--you know, to make the arch nemesis who just fired her jealous. And billionaire Huxley Cane was conveniently stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's when they bump into each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo sparks. No fireworks. Not even the first seed of blossoming love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the next thing Lottie knows, she's scarfing down chips and guac, listening to Huxley lay out his problems, and then he tells her: He lied to a crucial client, and he needs a huge favor. A fake fiancée. He's talking living in his mansion together, going on intimate double-dates, and pretending they're head-over-heels in love...and engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's ridiculous, but people do ridiculous things when they're desperate. And Lottie and Huxley both reek of desperation. So, she strikes up the deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept her one mistake might be accidentally falling for the incomparable, insufferable Huxley Cane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloom Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781728294339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416","brand":"Meghan Quinn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132961849525,"sku":"9781728294339","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_23d0cb85-089e-4fed-9d33-6d6c39888035.jpg?v=1695136576","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-not-so-meet-cute-9781728294339","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
