Stuffed-shirt CEO Graham Ashcroft has a plan: to silence his parents’ nagging about marriage, he convinces his mischievous secretary, Chloe, to pose as his fiancée for a weekend visit to the family estate. Chloe, ever the sport, agrees—after all, what’s the harm in a little charade? But as sparks fly between their clashing personalities, the lines between pretense and reality blur.

What starts as a convenient arrangement soon spirals into a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy of family intrigue, witty banter, and surprising vulnerability. When the fake proposal crumbles, Chloe and Graham must decide if they’re willing to turn their act into something real—or risk losing the best thing they never saw coming.

Delightfully chaotic and irresistibly heartfelt, *A Proposal in Practice* is a story about love, waffles, and finding magic where you least expect it.
