A rising star in a prominent Atlanta public relations firm, Claire Kincaid can fix anything, except herself. When she shows up at a couples workshop without a partner, a handsome stranger named Kevin Thomas rescues her from humiliation by posing as her fiancé. Although she's drawn to Kevin, she's determined to stay true to Rob Evans, the man she plans to marry.

Revelations of long-buried family secrets land her in the middle of a fight between Jams, her beloved grandmother, and her mother, Janis. After years of demanding Jams tell her the name of the father she never knew, Janis sets out to find his identity on her own. Before Claire can help, a woman from one of her firm's focus groups is murdered, and her teenage daughter appears, determined to find justice. With help from Jams, the three set out to discover who's responsible and find themselves facing down one of Claire's most obnoxious and dangerous clients.

When Kevin reappears and announces that her fiancé Rob isn't who he claims to be, Claire realizes if she puts her trust in the wrong person, she could lose everything, including her life.
