Lily Evans has always lived life in the background-quiet, sweet, and perfectly forgettable. But when her roommate's grumpy older brother, hockey captain Jake Donovan, unexpectedly crashes on their couch for summer break, Lily's peaceful routine turns upside down.
Jake is everything she avoids-older, brooding, impossible to read. She's everything he didn't see coming-shy, sunlit, and suddenly all he can think about.
When he stumbles across her secret summer "spicy to-do list," he makes her an offer: they'll check off the items together-no feelings, no strings, no one has to know.
But as late-night adventures turn into stolen glances, and their forbidden fun starts feeling dangerously close to something real, Lily and Jake will have to decide if they're still playing games... or falling in love.
