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.

Elexandra has no family. She is the last princess of what used to be one of the greatest kingdoms of all, the rest of her family killed by the Furchians, an enemy kingdom who also has its own power, the ability to control minds. She is the last holder of the Fier, the ability to control fire and now, a prisoner of war in Furchus, she plans to escape and have her revenge, once and for all. But there is one thing between her and her revenge, Largon, the crown prince of Furchus.

Lexie Howe has the ability to freeze time. She doesn't know why or how but could care less, given her potential to prevent awkward situations with less than a blink. The only downside is the loneliness attached to keeping her secret. When she finds out that the most pined-for boy in school, Cam Lawson, can also manipulate time, Lexie believes she can finally fit in. However, when they get in the way of a scientist, and Lexie becomes contaminated by experimental waste, her power goes out of control. She and Cam are pressed for time to fix the problem before she goes crazy.
