When he learns that his inheritance is contingent on being married, he realizes his best friend's little sister has the perfect solution to his problem.

If only he hadn't broken her tender teenage heart nine years ago...Sparks fly when Daisy and Liam go on a series of dates to legitimize their fake relationship.
