At St. Dominic's Academy, appearances mean everything. When Yumeko Kawamoto-sharp-tongued, fearless, and fresh off a humiliating breakup-is offered a chance to make her ex, Ryan, jealous, she agrees... even if it means fake-dating Kira Timurov, the ice-cold student council president with a God complex and a thirst for popularity. But Kira isn't doing this for free. She's aiming to win the school's upcoming election, and dating Yumeko could make her seem more "relatable." A simple agreement, right? Wrong. Because pretending to love someone gets messy when one of you starts falling for real. And secrets always come out in the end.
