Serena Peterson has not been able to forget the face of Jared Jacobs since he called her 'senseless' without even knowing her name and made her lose a contract that would have given her business the much needed boost.
Months later, her business is in dire need of a financial boost; so she takes a break to go back to the corporate world but the last thing she expects is to run into him at her new workplace as the company's CFO.
Then fate throws her a curve: Jared impulsively introduces her as his girlfriend to escape his mother's matchmaking schemes. What is more shocking to Serena is that she plays along!
The longer their fake romance takes, the lines begin to blur and Serena is trying not to fall for the charming CFO who just might be the biggest threat to her carefully guarded heart.
