Twist of Fate by Callie Quigg featured an interesting twist on fake BF/fiancee trope, a FORCED fake fiancee, where the FMC lied about having a fiancee, then have her mortal enemy show up pretending to be her fiancee ready to expose her, but to fall for her instead as he realized he had been played. Did I confuse you? Let me start from the beginning.
Quinn Marshall is in trouble. Her treacherous ex just drained her bank account and about to destroy her wedding planner business. Her only hope is to start with a little white lie that she's engaged, in order to book a celebrity wedding in an Irish castle in six weeks. It's literally do... or watch her dream die. Ronan Donovan despises liars and cheats (esp. his ex-fiancee) and he can't believe he lost this business to a no-name biz. When his less-than-reputable Irish buddy told him the firm that beat him was a cheater, he saw red. On impulse, he jumped on a plane to Ireland, and barged onto the castle, claiming to be her fiancee in front of everyone, forced her into pretending along, so he can expose her later. Except... the more he lived with Quinn, the more he realized this girl is not a con. Can he deal with the growing physical attraction between them, while making things right?
The author managed to start the action as late as possible, as well as blend in several plot lines that did come together, with the wedding, weather, and other external factors all threatening to undo the attracting between the FMC and MMC. I enjoyed this book quite a bit.
