Bookrate

Logan "Lefty" Johnson has spent the last ten years of his life fighting his way out of a rough childhood and into a Manhattan penthouse, with a ten million dollar Nike endorsement deal coming his way. Isabel "Izzie" Hock, waitress, part-time stripper, and full-time single mother, is keeping her dream of becoming a lawyer alive - despite being abandoned by her son's father and having to care for her ailing mother. Neither are looking for love, but when Logan takes the fall for his nephew's drug bust, his endorsement deal (and future retirement plans) are on the line. Logan's lawyer says he needs to clean up his image, which means being more of a family man. Izzie's trying to get her son into a better school, which happens to be in Logan's neighborhood. A stroke of luck and one quick wedding later, Izzie and Logan have a solution to both of their problems. The whole arrangement is meant to be temporary, and nobody says anything about love - except, when Izzie's former flame (and son's father) reappears and says he wants her back, Logan and Izzie are forced to ask themselves if their marriage really was just for show after all.
