Based on the song "Paradise" by Coldplay Life was perfect. Or at least, as perfect as a life can be. I had it all: the money, the family, the resources, and, at least at the time, the throne. I was the only daughter of the largest and most successful company in the world. Guess what we produced? Inns. Lots of ‘em. My father, the business men of business men, was the head director of the largest chain of high quality commercial inns the world had seen at the time. Our hospitality industry was centuries ahead of what the world expected. The year was 1938, when the complications between humans and magical creatures were still yet to come. The wheels of war had not yet begun to turn. I had a full schedule. Between schooling about hospitality, business, politics, music, cooking, cleaning, and parties, I wasn’t exactly the social butterfly fourteen year old of the year to the locals. I was an heir. The way I saw it, I didn’t even need friends, except for my best friend, Toki. As long as I had him, my parents, my co-workers, and my destined empire, I was happy. I grew up with the world promised to me, laid out at my feet. And then my world crumbled.

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.
