Summary
Official Details
Ellie is still nursing the sting of a recent breakup with her ex-boyfriend, who also happens to be her coworker. With the annual company holiday party fast approaching, she finds herself trapped in an uncomfortable dilemma. Attending means facing awkward encounters and whispered gossip, yet skipping the event entirely would only draw more unwanted attention. Desperate to salvage her dignity, she daydreams about arriving on the arm of the perfect escort—a man of influence, striking good looks, and undeniable charm. Miraculously, her fantasy becomes reality when her brother, Toby, introduces his boss, Patrick, as her date for the evening. Tall, powerful, and widely admired by women everywhere, Patrick appears to be the ideal Prince Charming to silence any lingering whispers at the office gathering. However, beneath this picture-perfect arrangement lies a startling complication. Ellie quickly realizes that playing the role of his enamored companion is far more difficult than she anticipated. She and Patrick share a deeply guarded secret, one so sensitive that she cannot even confide in her own brother. As the festive night unfolds, Ellie must navigate the delicate line between maintaining appearances and confronting a hidden truth that could change everything.
