From San Francisco to the South of France, Faking It is a delightful, devilishly funny look at the enduring quest to find "oneself."  It's about the lies we tell to make people love us; and the truths we must accept before we can truly love ourselves.

Falling in love is always in fashion.... With her trust fund and coveted job at Christian Dior, Fanny Moreau believes she has it all. But when her best friend finds a fulfilling new career abroad-and a dreamy relationship with a great guy, Fanny's fabulous life suddenly feels empty. Inspired to find her true purpose, she trades her cushy lifestyle in San Francisco for an adventure in the Alaskan wilderness. Everyone thinks Fanny has gone off the deep end. What's a girl with a Ph.D in Prada doing teaching in an Inuit village? Even Fanny is wondering, especially when she comes face to face with Calder MacFarlane. The Scottish search and rescue pilot is everything Fanny is not-selfless, heroic, and used to living on the edge. He's also the man who once loved her best friend. Yet something in Calder's sexy gaze has her believing that she's a woman capable of great things-a woman who might just find her own happily-ever-after, in a place where she least expects it....

The chance of a lifetime . . . or just another bad decision? Delaney Lavender Brooks needs to grow up. At least, according to her parents. After getting evicted from her apartment and wrecking her car, Laney is almost ready to trade in her paintbrushes and surrender to a more sensible 9-to-5 existence. Almost. Until she's awarded an internship at a prestigious art gallery in Paris. What else can the free-spirited artist do but follow her dreams? Even if her latest attempt at chasing rainbows might cost her a real future . . . Once in the city of lights, Laney is almost undone by the glaring truth: maybe she isn't sophisticated or talented enough to make it as an artist-or an independent woman, for that matter. And when she's hotly pursued by a seductive Frenchman, she has to wonder if she's about to be a fool for love, too. Soon Laney's greatest challenge is not proving herself to her parents, but having the courage to live the life-and love-of her dreams . . .
