A match made on Aisle 5...
Once she finishes these renovations, Lila can finally sell the money pit she'd been living in and get back on her feet. But on box store wages, that'll take decades. Then her friend Pierre proposes the perfect solution.
Pierre needs a green card. If Lila marries him, he'll pay to create her dream home. Win-win, right? One problem: who is going to believe the gorgeous, brilliant investment banker fell for plain little Lila? Everyone, if the two of them have any say in it.
Not even their closest friends or family can suspect the truth. Lila fakes the walk of shame [I don't know what the walk of fame is, might need an explanation], feigns total surprise at Pierre's staged public proposal, and plans their wedding with a single-minded determination rivaled only by her pet Yorkie begging for treats.
Their staged relationship is so perfect, Lila starts to believe it's real. Then Pierre's brother drops a bombshell: they are royalty, princes in a tiny island nation, and Lila isn't princess material.
Now, instead of studs and sandpaper, Lila finds herself worrying about titles and tiaras. Will Lila get her happily ever after, or will her prince decide she's not so charming after all?

"Heffernan has a way with the back-and-forth banter that I love to read between characters, and what I really like is when the protagonist discovers new things about themselves that really creates the character evolution I hold so dear to my heart." - Sara, Chick Lit Central
"The writing is wonderful and I was totally entranced by the words on the page. I flew through this book. I loved the relationship between Lila and Pierre. Who wouldn't want one of their best friends to become their prince charming, in every way?" - Susan, The Book Bag
