What’s a little engagement between friends?
Omar Esterly is married to his job. But when Omar sets his sights on a potential, family-oriented client, his confirmed bachelorhood becomes a problem. Fortunately, his friend and employee, Devi Boss, has the perfect plan…
Okay, so it wasn't exactly Devi's plan to become her friend's fake fiancée. Lies aren't her style. However, Omar offers her a big, beautiful raise—enough to track down the missing father she's never known—and Devi reluctantly agrees to the whole engagement hoax…
This was supposed to be a no-strings-attached win-win for both Devi and Omar, but when they cross the line between friendship and…well, something more, Devi realizes she’s made a huge mistake that just might cost her both job and friend—falling for her fiancé.

Hoax
It was simple: an arrangement to suit the two friends for their own gain, only it became
complicated
Omar Esterly is married to his job. But when Omar sets his sights on a potential, family-oriented
client, his confirmed bachelorhood becomes a problem. Fortunately, his friend and employee,
Devi Boss, has the perfect plan...
Okay, so it wasn't exactly Devi's plan to become her friend's fake fiancée. Lies aren't her style.
However, Omar offers her a big, beautiful raise - enough to track down the missing father she's
never known - and Devi reluctantly agrees to the whole engagement hoax... This was supposed
to be a no-strings-attached win-win for both Devi and Omar, but when they cross the line
between friendship and...well, something more, Devi realizes she's made a huge mistake that
just might cost her both job and friend - falling for her fiancé. (Amazon blurb)
Devi is everything Omar isn't, which makes them a perfect team. While his father managed the
accounting company, Omar tries to land a high ranking client only to realize that he's family
oriented. I must admit that I had troubles connecting to this couple in the beginning simply
because we're thrown right into the chaos of Omar's wanting to get into the client's party. While
Devi is wild, carefree and takes on more of a hippie state of mind, Omar is more of a loner, a
stay at home type of man and married to his work - and considering those qualities aren't those
I look first in individuals, they quite frankly surprised me. However, I like the concept of this
story, the different nuances and especially the humour that Devi brings into the relationship
between Omar and herself. For a first time reader of Christine Warner's, I enjoyed it, and hope
to see more in her next novels.
