Unmarried, 30 year old Sophy Metcalfe told a little white lie to soothe her nagging mother. The white lie's name was "Dominic," the ideal boyfriend. But now that Sophy's thin and beautiful sister is getting married, Dominic is going to have to make an appearance in the flesh since the genuine article vanished from Sophy's life after a single, singularly unmemorable evening she resorts to a drastic measure--aka Josh Carmichael, the escort she hires at the last minute, sight unseen.

But the trouble with white lies is that they tend to multiply. Sophy has actually begun to like Josh. Even if they make it through the wedding day from hell together there's the night that follows and, the morning after. And that could end up being the biggest trouble of all!

Wonderfully funny!
