Deziree Emerson has the spirit, the smile, and the pom-poms-cheerleading is her world. Leonardo Jones has the spotlight, the jersey, and the title of star quarterback. In fact, they barely know each other.
That changes when they're unexpectedly paired for a month-long class project. Suddenly, the quiet nods in the hallway turn into late-night study sessions-and one wild plan neither of them saw coming. To make his ex think he's dating someone else so she'll back off, Leonardo convinces Deziree to fake date him.
It's supposed to be easy. Just hand-holding at football games, smiles at pep rallies, and maybe a staged photo or two. But the more they pretend, the harder it is to ignore the sparks that feel a little too real.
Now Deziree has to figure out if this game of make-believe is leading her toward heartbreak... or the kind of love that lasts far beyond junior year.
