Devin McKenna doesn't date golfers - end of story - but she will definitely be best friends with one. After two years of friendship (and one long year of mysterious silence) with Tate Thacker, collegiate and future-pro golf phenom, he's back for their senior year of college. Tate is the same as always; winning left and right, sticking to his insane schedule, and never being in a serious relationship. A lot had changed for Devin in that one year though. She had her heart broken by a football player, but seeing him so jealous when Tate walks back into her life makes Devin a little too happy. Fake dating might not be a thing in real life, but people used to mistakenly think that Devin and Tate were together all the time - so why can't they just not dispel the rumor for once?
