An undercover operation forces Lucy and Tim to play a convincing couple, even though they can barely stand each other. The fighting is real. The tension is worse. And the longer the mission lasts, the harder it becomes to tell what's fake and what isn't.

He doesn't go easy on people, but he doesn't go hard on her either, and that line between professional and personal starts to blur in the quiet moments - shared patrol cars, lingering eye contact, the kind of teasing that sounds harmless until it isn't. She carries herself like someone who has more waiting for her than just the job, and Tim tells himself he doesn't need to know what that is. He just needs to remember she's his partner - and nothing else.

Here's the deal: Tim needs a date to a destination wedding, and his favorite bartender and friend, Lucy, desperately needs a vacation, so they strike a deal to spend a the long wedding weekend in Hawaiʻi together as friends. But the island sun, tropical nights, and a shared hotel room might make it impossible to keep things platonic for long.
