All that high school junior Ellie Morris-Whittaker wants is to play division one soccer in college. Good thing she has a full ride to a super-prestige prep school, right? But her history grades are tanking, and losing her scholarship means bye bye prep school. Enter her new tutor, William - the hot student council president she can't stop thinking about. And even though he's kinda-sorta dating someone else, it's pretty clear he's also kinda-sorta crushing on Ellie. It's her own personal purgatory, until William's troublesome, varsity star striker brother Theo proposes a solution: a fake dating ruse. Too bad Theo's annoying AF and definitely not worth Ellie's time. But when Ellie's almost benched for good, Theo's pretty much the only one whose pointers can help win her spot back. And the more Ellie gets to know Theo, the more she realizes that she might've crushed on the wrong brother. Worse, she might actually be falling for the guy she was only supposed to be fake dating...
