    "description": "Marriages of convenience are so...inconvenient.\n\nFor months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music performed by her street musician crush. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of a drunken attacker. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly disappears when the police start asking questions.\n\nUsing the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back, Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway\u2019s hottest musical director. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway\u2014until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he\u2019s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago.\n\nSeeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild idea takes hold of her. Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway\u2014in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting\u2014will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?",
