Emma needs to escape her family's relentless matchmaking attempts. Justin wants to keep his commitment-phobic reputation intact while visiting his hometown. Their solution seems perfect: fake date for the summer to solve both problems. Emma gets breathing room from well-meaning relatives pushing unsuitable men her way. Justin avoids the parade of women his family keeps introducing. The arrangement should end cleanly when summer does. But their pretend relationship feels increasingly real as they spend lazy days together and navigate family gatherings as a convincing couple. Emma discovers Justin's walls hide deeper vulnerabilities than his playboy image suggests. Justin finds Emma's warmth and authenticity breaking through his carefully maintained emotional distance. When their fake summer romance threatens to become something genuine, both must decide whether to honor their original agreement or risk everything for unexpected love.
