Twelve-year-old Ellie Taylor dreams of traveling the world. She wants to experience life, not read about it in a textbook. Forced to study boring paintings for an art history exam, she finds herself transported to 19th Century Paris and the world of the French Impressionists. There, Ellie befriends the famous American artist, Mary Cassatt, who needs help finding her runaway dog, Batty. Ellie chases the dog throughout the city, which also introduces her to such famous places as the Louvre museum, Notre Dame cathedral, and the Paris Opera House. In the end, Ellie discovers art is not dull, but rather filled with grand adventures to places she may never visit otherwise.

The plan was simple. Pose as her fake fiancé on Valentine’s Day to put an end to her boss’s unwanted advances. She needed a hero, and I was happy to oblige. There’s just one problem. I’m already falling for her. Moving to Paris to start a cycling business has always been the end game, and I’m one phone call away from my dream becoming a reality. But my ambitions hit a hairpin turn when I come face-to-face with Nora Turner, my new dental hygienist and the woman I’ve secretly been pining for. She doesn’t remember me from last summer, but that doesn’t stop her from accepting my offer to pose as her fake fiancé when her boss gets a little too handsy. And when he invites her to a Valentine’s Day happy hour, it’s my job to accompany her and convince her colleagues that my feelings for her are anything but fake. Shouldn’t be too hard considering I haven’t been able to get her out of my head. To her, this engagement might be a ruse, but to me, it’s an audition for the real deal. And when by some twist of fate we find ourselves traveling to Paris together, I have a lot more planned than just seeing the Eiffel Tower. I’ve got one weekend to show Nora how much I want her, and if Cupid’s on my side, turn this fake engagement into a real one.
