Part of Seasons of Revenge

Kat has a problem with men. Seven dates max, then something small kills the romance. The way a guy handles ice cubes or orders coffee triggers her ick factor, and the relationship dies. Her boss Theodore has the opposite problem. He wants to become company president, but his family-focused superior doubts that a confirmed bachelor will ever settle down. Theodore panics and claims he has a fiancée. Now he needs to produce one fast while fighting off a workplace rival who wants to sabotage his promotion. Theodore turns to his sunny assistant Kat with a business proposition. Seven dates to fool his boss and secure his future. Kat agrees because the deal seems risk-free. Her ick factor has never failed to kick in before. But as they play the happy couple, Kat discovers something unexpected. The usual warning signs stay silent. For the first time, she might actually fall for someone.
