The Spanish Love Deception

Autor: Elena Armas

Catalina “Lina” Martín, a Spanish woman living in New York City, desperately needs a date for her sister’s wedding in Spain. She has told a white lie to her family about having an American boyfriend because she doesn’t want to face the judgment of her relatives or her ex-boyfriend (who will be at the wedding with his fiancée) alone. With only four weeks to find a suitable man to cross the Atlantic and help with her charade, she is running out of options. To her surprise, Aaron Blackford, her tall, handsome, and notoriously condescending colleague whom she calls “Mr. Robot”, unexpectedly offers to step in as her fake date. Reluctant at first, as she finds him insufferable, Catalina accepts his offer out of desperation. The book follows their journey to Spain and the subsequent three days they spend convincing her family they are a happily in love couple. Along the way, lines begin to blur, and Catalina starts to realize that Aaron might not be as terrible in the real world as he is in the office.
