Summer Knightly and Jace Evans have been best friends for an extremely long time. Eight years, to be exact. And according to research, if a friendship exceeds seven years, it will last a lifetime. This will be put to the test when Mia Anderson, the hottest and most popular girl in town (as cliché as that sounds) sets her eyes on Jace, which he absolutely detests because she's horrible to Summer. So Jace hatches a plan to get rid of the unwanted attention from Mia by asking Summer to be his pretend girlfriend, which Summer agrees to because it was also a way for her to seek revenge on Mia. What Summer doesn't know is that he has an ulterior motive behind asking her. Jace's ulterior motive might break their eight years of friendship, or make it become something much more because can a boy and a girl with so much history (and chemistry) really just stay friends and not fall for each other?
