Why these tropes fit
A small-town romantic comedy built around a fake-engagement scheme: a woman with four previous failed engagements ropes her brother's best friend—a stranded, mud-covered stranger who wanders into her North Carolina town—into posing as her fiancé for a family PR piece. Their arrangement grows from a messy misunderstanding into a town-believed charade that the heroine keeps reminding herself is only temporary, even as the joke about her 'colourful list of grooms-that-never-were' deepens into something more.
