Five Weddings and a Fake Boyfriend

City slicker Derrick Massey has always had a thing for cowboys. So a roll in the hay with Kendall ""Slater"" Stamos during a rustic weekend wedding is more than A-OK. But when Slater's forced to hang up his saddle for the season, Derrick surprises even himself with his proposition: ""Be my fake boyfriend and get my family off my back about finding a permanent partner.""

Though unexpected, the arrangement is a win-win. Derrick gets a plus-one for a slew of summer weddings and Slater gets a place to stay while he recuperates with lots of casual fun in between. Which is just how the sexy cowboy likes it: casual. Yet it's obvious the chemistry between them is anything but.

With the countdown to their ""breakup"" on, the more time the two men spend together--and the more it becomes clear that what they have could be real, if only they let it be.
