Cause and Affection

What happens when a chance encounter turns out to be anything but?

Kara Wexler has only a few days to decide whether to accept the nomination of Chief Executive Officer and remain under her father's hand. Should she say enough is enough and resign from the family company completely? Her siblings desperately want her to take the top job and use her innovative ideas to turn the company around. But Kara is tired of fighting with her father at every turn.

Kara’s siblings aren't willing to let the decision go to chance. Worried that Kara no longer has the fight necessary to lead the company, they concoct a scheme to get Kara back on track. Surely deceiving Kara for the short-term is worth the long-term gain.

Madeleine Jessepp's career has hit an all-time low. Her dream of becoming an actress isn't going to happen and she doesn't even have the money to return home to Minnesota. At first she scoffs at the offer to play the "Love at First Sight Role," and spend a week as a fantasy date. But after some convincing she agrees to do it. After all, she is an actress.

Thrown together by Kara's well-intentioned siblings, Madeleine and Kara both get more than they bargained for. What will happen when Kara discovers she's been deceived by everyone—especially by Madeleine?
