Gina Foster was working damn hard to put her wild woman ways behind her. Getting involved with playboy business man Wes Moreland might look like a big slip backwards to everyone, but Gina doesn't care. She's willing to risk her reputation to keep her friend Michelle's elopement a secret until she's ready to tell everyone herself. She needed Wes to help her do that.
Wes was seriously on the spot thanks to his best friend JP Abbott asking him to be his best man. Now Wes has to do whatever he can to keep things under wraps until JP gets back from his honeymoon and breaks the news. Pretending to be engaged to Gina is the best plan. Spending time with her wouldn't be a hardship, or hurt his image any. As long as she understood that it was over when Wes said it was. Even if that meant it never ended.
