Just This Once

Loretta D'Angelo doesn't want to get married. Being dumped by her fiancé just months before her wedding was fine with her. She loves her life as a single woman in New York City, indulging in gourmet ice-cream, getting the occasional mud-mask facial, and working for a tacky talk show that specializes in screaming and scrapping among its philandering guests. If only she could tune out her pushy family and their constant match-making attempts. Josh Kaplan has no interest in getting married, either, although maybe he ought to. He's been with his girlfriend Melanie for years, but for some reason he just hasn't felt the urge to pop the question. He's busy fighting for tenants' rights and playing chess with his elderly friend Solly, who's got women problems of his own. Melanie is busy, too, although what she's busy with, Josh isn't sure. When Loretta's job suddenly hinges on her being hooked up with a blind date on the show, Josh is the ideal foil. He has no more interest in a romance than she does. He's got Melanie. And if Loretta pretends he's her boyfriend, her family will get off her case. What could possibly go wrong?
