  Not that she’d want to dream of Des. Ever. 
   
  To make matters worse, Des is big, grumpy, and apparently his heart is made of granite. He’s not willing to meet Mia in any sort of middle. 
   
  Suffice it to say, Mia’s forties aren’t off to a good start. 
   
  Until. 
   
  A blind date turns to disaster, because that funny, charming guy she’s been talking to? 
   
  Yeah. That’s Des. And he has a proposition for her… 
   
  One little fake date–a cheeky weekend away to go to his family reunion–and Mia’s rent troubles will disappear. 
   
  But as she gets to know Des, feelings start to grow. Could something fake turn real–or is true love just a fantasy?
