When her promotion at Tarenton Toys looks like it won't go through because she's not married, Ellen Rhoades pretends a romance/engagement with Josh Hawthorne. Josh is an old roommate's flame and in Europe for several months, so she pretends. Then Josh shows up and agrees to the charade to try and get her the job. It all backfires when they really do fall in love but won't admit it because both are marriage shy from their family backgrounds.
