Sarah Campbell told one tiny white lie.
The tech giant she works for moves her to a small Scottish island for six months to work on a classified project. She can't tell anyone why she's leaving and lying to placate her judgemental and inquisitive mother is the only choice. The lie? That Sarah has fallen in love, she couldn't be happier, and she's moving in with her perfect girlfriend. She can pretend her dream woman exists for six months, right?
Sarah's a tech genius and she's better at firewalls than real walls. She arrives at the run-down cottage assigned by her employer and quickly discovers she needs help.
Pippa Kent is a semi-retired structural engineer who's done with love. She fills all her free time running a handywoman service on the island. When Sarah calls Pippa out for the most basic repairs, Pippa can't help but wonder--often out loud--how anyone can be so inept at home maintenance.
Everything is going so well until Sarah's mother suddenly decides to visit and meet her daughter's wonderful new partner. With little option, Sarah begs Pippa to be her fake girlfriend. Only the more time they spend faking it, the less pretend it feels.
