From the moment Zachary Forester laid eyes on Angelina Mai, he knew she was the perfect target for cruel games. While she lived in her perfect rom-com fantasy world, he was the school's star baseball player and golden boy who never missed the opportunity to make her life a living nightmare. Everyone adores him, but Angelina seems to be the only one to see past his charm and find the arrogance underneath.
Now in junior year, the teasing hasn't ceased and neither has Angelina's ex-boyfriend, Hayden's, attempts to win her back. When Zach unexpectedly offers a solution, Angelina agrees to an absurd plan : fake-date him to make Hayden miserable.
It started as a stupid bet between Zach and his friends, but to his surprise, it soon turned into blurred lines between pretending and true feelings. Zach begins to show sides of himself Angelina never imagined existed and she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about him and about herself.
But the past is never far behind. Will they be able to let go of their old grudges and open up to what's right in front of them, or will the ghosts of their pasts keep them from moving forward?
