Falsely accused of an affair with her internationally famous pop-star boss, she leaves the city for her hometown and the shelter of her grandmother's house.
The scandal's real source is her estranged mother, a woman twice his age, whose actions have turned her life into a media circus.
At home she runs into George Callahan—her first crush, her first kiss, and now her sworn enemy.
To keep the paparazzi away, George proposes a fake engagement, and she agrees, hoping the pretense will distract her.
Loving him for show brings old feelings back, until a compelling job offer draws her toward the city she still calls home and away from the small-town peace and unconditional love she has started to want.
