Fia Romero thought her life was perfectly content - until she met Wes Hamilton, her boyfriend Nate's devilishly handsome dorm mate. While Fia had been blissfully ensconced in a committed three-year relationship, Wes didn't believe in tying himself down. For him, college was a buffet of options to be explored and experienced to the fullest without the constraints of commitment.
Their unlikely friendship blossomed from an outrageous proposition - Wes wanted Fia to be his matchmaker and find him a girl worth forsaking his wild ways for. What started as an innocent game between polar opposites soon ignited an undeniable chemistry that neither could ignore, no matter how hard they tried.
What started as match-making turned into a fake-dating relationship, leading to confused feelings and room-fulls of tension.
With each coy smile, each heated exchange of banter, the lines between reality and reckless desire began to blur. Suddenly, Fia found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about love, commitment, and the person she believed was her soulmate.
A little game of playing Cupid turns into something more and maybe, the person who has always been the one for you was standing right under your nose the whole time.
