About this listen

"Full of humour and heartwarming moments—Rebecca delivers pure joy!"—Chantel Guertin, bestselling author of It Happened One Christmas

Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith to land exactly where you're meant to be . . .

Miz is not the marrying kind. She's more of the no-strings-attached kind. No labels, only fun. So, when she finds a diamond ring in her casual-but-very-hot hook-up's gym bag, she immediately ends things and runs.

Kal is one of Miz's best friends, an aspiring actor who moved to Toronto from Ethiopia and is on the brink of his big break. But when he's suddenly at risk of having to return home and leave Toronto forever, Miz panics. She can't imagine her life without Kal.

There's only one solution: Miz will marry Kal to become his spou­sal sponsor. He'll get to keep pursuing his acting career, and she'll get to keep her best friend in the city. It'll be a quick, short only-on-paper marriage between friends, followed by a quick, easy divorce. Nothing will change, and life will go back to normal. Right?
