Elena Rivers had a problem and not just one problem only. She was finding herself falling for Jason Tyler. Not only that, she also had a boyfriend of her own, Hunter Watson. On top of that, Jason was her brother Andrew's best friend. All in all, Jason was strictly off limits, as was she. Not only is she having to fight to keep her feelings hidden, but she also has to fight the jealousy that finds it's way to her mind whenever Jason's girlfriend, Veronica Gates, is around. The one girl Elena has ever envied. While trying to deal with her problems, Elena finds herself turning to her best friend Chloe Paxton for support, only to find out that she wasn't the only one trying to hide her feelings from someone. Will Elena be shocked to find out what Chloe is hiding? Or will she be even more shocked to realize that she isn't the only one with her type of feelings?

Shawna Roberts is the girl that every guy turns to when they need a fake date, a fake girlfriend, a fake fling to make some other girl jealous, a fake couple photo to send to their parents... Shawna's pretty much seen it all. But no matter what they pay her for, everything she does has one common factor: it's all fake. That doesn't make being their paid girl much easier, though. Adam Ferrell is the campus heartthrob with the appearance of a god, an ego the size of Canada, and worshiped by everyone to monumentally ridiculous proportions. In Shawna's mind, it's a miracle his head fits through his shirt every morning. Yet despite their instant dislike for one another, Adam and Shawna each need what the other can offer. When Adam unexpectedly pushes into Shawna's life with a business deal, she's torn between her feelings and her sense of duty, which protects a secret she has kept for years, from even those closest to her. And as the two begrudgingly get to know each other, masks start slipping and secrets come spilling out, forcing each of them to confront some of their darkest moments and deepest fears.
