An artist. A developer. And a London art gallery which they both want--for very different reasons.
When recent uni grad Matty Gowen-Smith, a talented painter and not so talented bartender, spills a tray of drinks on a hot-shot investor, Florian de Ligt, he's left with no choice to make amends. Especially after Matty ruins Florian's suit on a big night out for Florian's birthday.
Trying to make things right, broke artist Matty offers Florian his only suit in a desperate effort to not get fired from his job. Conveniently, Matty is flat sitting around the corner, where his one prized suit awaits his friend's wedding next weekend. Not so conveniently, they are soon trapped together in an elevator at Matty's flat, and things rapidly go from bad to worse until landing on an uneasy truce.
Which is where a pact is born to come right from this mess. Florian needs a date for an upcoming art gala, a world he knows little about. Matty desperately needs a respectable date for his friend's Brighton wedding to prove he's a success in his new London life.
Two fake dates and an unexpected kiss later, fake feelings begin to feel a bit too much like real feelings. Which wouldn't be a problem if Florian wasn't so determined to dismantle Matty's art community by redeveloping a popular local art gallery into luxury condos. An art gallery which may give Matty the solo exhibition he's dreamt of to launch his art career. And now Matty must choose between his community or what might be a real chance at love ...
