When I met Professor David Carstairs on the ferry to my mother’s wedding, I knew instantly he was The One. Unfortunately, the next morning I found out the mystery groom was none other than David’s dad, turning our dreams of happily-ever-after into one long nightmare!

Now, for the sake of our parents’ happiness, David and I have agreed to pretend our magical night together never happened.

But how do you pretend you don’t know the taste of a man’s kiss or the way his voice sounds when he whispers your name? How do you pretend you’re not desperately, irrevocably in love with your new stepbrother?
