"Fake dating your family's bitter rival is hard. Doing it across eleven countries while trying not to actually fall for him? Pack a bag, because it's going to be a long summer..."
Sterling & Cross Capital is officially celebrating its 20th anniversary.
To mark the milestone of their biggest corporate deal yet, the company drops the ultimate reward: an all-expenses-paid, 11-country world tour for the entire team for the duration of the summer.
Mabel Martinez is forced to pack her bags and tag along. Her parents are desperate to project the image of a flawless, picture-perfect family to the executives, hoping to secure a career-defining job position. But behind closed doors, they are anything but perfect.
Enter the De La Cruz family. Cunning, cold, and calculated, they have been the Martinez family's bitter rivals for years-and Theodore De La Cruz's parents want that exact same job position.
To make matters worse, Mabel's boyfriend abruptly dumps her right before the tour. His reason? He wants to 'live a little' before college, leaving her branded as too uptight and boring.
Trapped on the same global itinerary with the infuriatingly protective Theodore-now a sharp, third-year college student-Mabel finds an unexpected ally. Together, they hatch a plan to post carefully staged, adventurous pictures on social media, pretending to date to drive her ex crazy and keep their competitive parents distracted.
But as they fly from continent to continent, the boundaries of the deal begin to shatter. Lingering touches start feeling all too real. Late-night conversations shift into deeper, darker territory as social pressures and hidden family problems tighten around them.
When the summer ends and the corporate battle reaches its boiling point, will they remember the real reason they started this game-or will their fake alliance turn into something they can no longer control?
