Des vacances de conte de fées - s'il peut en réussir la fin.
Finch Mason, infirmier américain, sort du confort de sa vie ordonnée et s'offre un voyage de rêve en Angleterre, avec un pass du National Trust pour visiter de nombreux sites historiques. Au premier sur sa liste, il est chaleureusement accueilli - et informé qu'il a acheté un pass pour deux personnes.
Finch n'hésite pas à l'offrir à Benedict, un beau Britannique également présent lors de cette visite. Ils passent une semaine magique à visiter la campagne, et même s'il est trop tôt pour s'attacher, Finch souhaite que leurs moments ensemble ne s'arrêtent jamais.
Puis il se retrouve coincé sans argent et il n'a personne vers qui se tourner à part Benedict. Celui-ci est heureux d'aider, mais il doit aussi des réponses à Finch - comme qui il est vraiment et pourquoi il se trouvait au domaine où ils se sont rencontrés.
Can a fake engagement become a real marriage?
Wiley Grey is stuck in a rut. He loves his picturesque hometown, helping in his best friend's bakery, and the house his grandmother left him. But something's missing.
Holt Leydon never intended to become a reality TV show host. When his flamboyant brother, Kit, needed a handyman on the set of I Do!, Holt fell into the role, using his expertise to make Kit's wildest wedding designs come true. Now he's ready to move on. Kit has agreed on one condition: they rescue Kit's would-be ratings bonanza "coming home" episode by making Holt the groom.
The problem is Holt needs someone to marry, and fast. Something compels him to ask childhood friend Wiley--and Wiley agrees to the pretense.
Kit gets his dramatic last episode, Holt gets off the show, and Wiley gets some artificial excitement and a "honeymoon" on the show's dime. It's perfect--until the grooms start wishing their pretend engagement was more reality and less TV....
When efficiency consultant Graden Baxter gets stranded at the Las Vegas airport, of course he starts to book another flight… until curt demands and disappointing news from his boss finally best his practical nature. If tireless dedication to the job only leads to being taken for granted, maybe he should reevaluate his life.
A cross-country drive to New York City with fellow stranded traveler Cole Carmichael presents the perfect opportunity. He can have a little adventure but still make it home in a long weekend.
Professional nomad Cole has other ideas for getting there, but the tension building between them isn't all down to Graden's overplanning and Cole's inconsiderate spontaneity. As they navigate the Southwest, exploring parks and endless starry skies, they begin to see themselves less as opposite and more as complementary.
Unfortunately, adventures have to end—and theirs ends with Graden back at a thankless job, Cole solitary and rootless.
Except that peculiar road-trip alchemy means they aren't the same men who embarked on the trip. Can they find their way together, even if it means going off the map?
