The Mellow brothers are practically legends at Crystal High. Why? Because they're the only quadruplets in school and, of course, because every single one of them is ridiculously good-looking with talents to match.
Henry, the oldest, is smart and consistently places in the top five of their year.
Lucas, the second-born, is a part-time model, following in their mother's footsteps and loving every second of the attention.
Kyle, the third-born, is a star player on the volleyball team, always surrounded by his teammates and fans.
And then there's Marshal. The youngest. The quiet one. The introvert. His thing? Well, nothing, really. He's just Marshal, the background Mellow brother.
Everything shatters when a single, leaked text message goes viral. It's anonymous, but the meaning is devastatingly clear: one of the Mellow brothers is gay, heartbroken, and living in a lie.
Now everyone at school stares. Whispers follow them everywhere. No one knows which Mellow brother is gay, and honestly, they don't care. One of them is-and that's enough for the dirty looks and muttered slurs to start.
So Marshal does the only thing he can think of to protect his brother. He steps into the spotlight and claims the text as his own. Overnight, the world believes the quiet, invisible Marshal is the gay brother.
And the only one who steps in to defend him is Alistar Sterling-the school's fiercely outspoken, famously stubborn LGBTQ+ activist.
"Touch my boyfriend again," Alistar snaps, stepping between them, "and I'll break your damn arm."
From that day forward, the fake dating begins.
What neither of them expects is how quickly the line between fake and real starts to blur when love is found.
