Klappentext

Struggling Hollywood producer Richard is twenty-nine, hungover, and broke. Ridiculously handsome with an easy charm, he spends his days procrastinating at the Coffee Bean and nights hanging out with his best friend, Michaela, aka ?Mike.?
At thirty-three, Elizabeth is on track to make partner at her law firm. Known as ?La Máquina??the Machine?to her colleagues, she's grown used to a quiet, orderly life with no romantic entanglements of any kind.
Richard and Elizabeth have never met before, but their paths collide when they receive a proposal from an anonymous benefactor: they'll split a million dollars if they agree to spend at least two hours together every week for a year. Both are shocked and suspicious, and agree the idea is absurd, but after Richard anxiously considers the state of his bank account and Elizabeth carefully conducts a cost-benefit analysis of the situation, they agree to give it a try.
As these two perfect strangers wade awkwardly into the waters of modern courtship, discovering a shared affection for In-N-Out burgers, classic books, cult-hit movies, and various Los Angeles locales, they realize that uncovering the secret identity of their benefactor will not only make clear what connects them but will also change them both forever.
