The boss

If she wants to get out of this, this false pretence is the only way out?

Rita suddenly finds herself without a job and discovers that her flatmate has moved out without warning, leaving two months' rent unpaid. Things quickly improve when she receives an unexpected phone call from a company inviting her to work for them. When she arrives, she realises that this is no ordinary job.

The mysterious boss, a man she has never met before, reveals that he needs her to pose as his wife for an indefinite period. This strange proposition is actually to protect her colossal family inheritance - wealth left to her by her parents that can only be claimed if she is married.

Caught in a desperate situation, Rita must decide whether this game of make-believe is really the only way for her to get out of it and put her current life behind her. Plunged into a world where appearances are deceptive and the stakes are colossal, Rita will have to navigate between love and lies to outwit the traps that surround her.
