Poppy’s dying grandmother has one final wish—to meet her granddaughter’s boyfriend. There’s just one problem … he doesn’t exist.

After paying a coworker fifty dollars to play the part, Poppy’s left stranded when he never shows up. Desperate and out of options, she steps into the hospital corridor to call him, unaware the infuriatingly handsome man in the tailored suit nearby overhears every word.

Resigned to telling her grandmother the truth, Poppy returns to the room, but the stranger steps in behind her, presses a kiss to the top of her head as though he’s done it a thousand times before, and says, “Sweetheart, I’m sorry I’m late.”
