It was all pretend... until it wasn't.
Olivia Lennox - dancer, student, and expert at escaping disastrous dates - never expected to end up sharing a flat with Mason McKinley: star of the football team, charming, insufferably confident... and now, her fake boyfriend.
The plan? Pretend to be a couple to get everyone off their backs.
The problem? Surviving life under the same roof without the sparks - or the secrets - getting out of control.
Between rehearsals, football games, and impromptu breakfasts, what started as a simple arrangement might just become something neither of them expected.
But when hearts get involved, pretending can get messy - and falling for each other might be the one thing they can't fake.
Valentina, a student at Heartfelt University, is assigned to the notoriously rude and cold Professor Montgomery.
While the professor's harsh demeanor clashes with Val's quiet and positive nature, their academic sparring soon turns into something deeper.
As Val's intelligence and persistence break through Professor Montgomery's icy exterior, a surprising and tender connection begins to bloom.
