Alexa Monroe never expects to agree to go to a wedding with a stranger, especially one she’s trapped with in an elevator. But Drew Nichols is impossible to resist. After a power outage strands them together, they become the perfect fake couple for his ex's wedding. Despite their undeniable connection, Drew’s surgical career in Los Angeles and Alexa’s political role in Berkeley threaten to keep them apart. Their story is a charming exploration of the clash between what they think they need and what they truly want.

Agreeing to go to a wedding with a guy she gets stuck with in an elevator is something Alexa Monroe wouldn't normally do. But there's something about Drew Nichols that's too hard to resist.

On the eve of his ex's wedding festivities, Drew is minus a plus one. Until a power outage strands him with the perfect candidate for a fake girlfriend...

After Alexa and Drew have more fun than they ever thought possible, Drew has to fly back to Los Angeles and his job as a paediatric surgeon, and Alexa heads home to Berkeley, where she's the mayor's chief of staff. Too bad they can't stop thinking about the other...

They're just two high-powered professionals on a collision course towards the long-distance dating disaster of the century—or closing the gap between what they think they need and what they truly want...
