Rent a Wife

Roxanne Rivera is gorgeous, sharp, and completely fake. For one night, she'll be the archaeologist's dream partner: witty, devoted, and armed with a backstory neither of them can fully keep straight. It's supposed to end when the party does.

It doesn't. Between a jealous classmate's cross-examination, a real boyfriend who shows up uninvited, and a lot of secret pancakes, Art and Roxanne fall for each other in earnest — which means the lie that got them together is the one thing standing in their way. Rent a Wife is a warm, funny story about the bravest thing a man can do: stop performing and tell the truth, out loud, to the people who already love him.
