Elena Castro is in love with her best friend, Will. She's never planned on telling him, even if he is going away to college next year. In fact, her only focus right now is figuring out how to keep her family's bookstore afloat while balancing the rest of her responsibilities. The last person she expected to step into her life was Marco Silva, the stuck up grandson of the owner of Melo's Coffee, where Elena works part-time. Marco's been in love with Cecilia for as long as he can remember. Now that she's back in Glensford, after her year abroad, he plans on telling her exactly how he feels. What he wasn't counting on was getting punished and cut off from all his bank accounts and being sent to work at his family's cafe. Or getting trained by Elena, a girl who has always seemed to dislike him for no reason. Then Cecilia and Will end up dating each other and Marco pretends to confess to Elena instead, the video of the mortifying moment going viral overnight. Having no choice, he makes Elena an offer, pretend to date him until the attention dies down, and he'll pay for the month of rent her family's bookstore is behind on. Elena accepts, and soon the two of them are off on their fake relationship. The question is, how long will they be able to keep up the act? Or worse yet, what if it stops being an act altogether?
