Hudson Harper made a mistake when he agreed to hire Sloane as his assistant. She's his business partner Jude's younger sister, and she proves to be a major distraction in the office. When one of Hudson's business associates needs a last-minute bridesmaid for a regency-themed wedding, Sloane gets volunteered for corset duty. She sees an opportunity and makes Hudson a deal he initially refuses: she'll play bridesmaid if he marries her. Sloane needs a wedding ring to gain entry to an exclusive high-society club that could advance her career. Hudson needs her skills at work. She convinces him they can keep the marriage secret from everyone, including her brother, and that the arrangement will benefit them both. Despite his reservations, Hudson finds himself agreeing to the proposal and walking down the aisle.
