Jack Maris is in a pickle. The confirmed bachelor has just landed the job of his dreams, but his new boss, a staunch family man, thinks Jack is engaged. Desperate, he talks pretty waitress Tess Donovan into posing as his fiancee. The little white lie seems harmless enough -- until news of their "engagement" spreads all over town. By then, however, the most delicious complication is the attraction simmering between the pair.

First, Marui's snacking gets him in trouble with Sanada, and then Jackal and Marui cope with the August heat.
