Ginny Baird brings us a wonderful romance interlaced with humor. Her lovable characters will pull you into the story quickly with her true to life dialogue that details the family and relationship concerns. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance.Carrie St John has a life many would envy, but to her it's an accumulation of years of hard work.  She is a successful financier who has arrived at a historic country inn for her weekend bridal shower.  She is surprised when her fiance' shows up and breaks their engagement. In a fit of anger she flings her engagement off and into the water.  Suddenly a sexy man erupts out of the water and attempts to return the ring to her. She tries to convince him the ring is not hers, but fails miserably.Miles Davis is a gorgeous man who has been successful in real estate, but not so lucky in love.  His 20th year class reunion is the following weekend and a dread of going has been following him around.  This beautiful woman stands before him declaring the ring he's found isn't hers and implores his to keep it, then just suddenly leaves. What's the deal with women anyhow?Carrie has worried all night about what she is to tell her family about another failed relationship when show approaches her breakfast table  but the man from last night.  Miles once again attempts to return the ring only to be turned down.  Carrie opens  up and explains about her fiance' jilting her. Miles is sympathetic to her position because his is similar.  She doesn't want to tell her family about the broken engagement, but he doesn't want to show up to his class reunion single.  His buddies always dubbed him as "the most likely to remain a bachelor" and he has wanted to prove his buddies wrong.Miles approaches the subject of helping  each other out. Each play the role as fiance' to help the other out of a tight situation. Carrie doesn't immediately agree because she doesn't like the thoughts of lying to her family, but it could work until she could come  up with an explanation.  As they both agree neither has any clue how far this charade will go.  As the plan is set into motion  there are twists and turns no one expects.  Tenderness and humor begin to take on many forms.  Can Carrie Convince her family that Miles is the one to ensure her happily ever after? Will Miles finally prove to his former classmatesthat he can settle down and get married?
