Jaclyn Beckett doesn't believe in love. When it comes to dating, her motto is one and done. But lately, her mother has been pushing her to get past her penchant for one-night stands. The problem is, her mom's idea of the perfect partner and Jaclyn's don't align.

Rhys Blackwell fell for Jaclyn the moment they met. But four years into their friendship, and he's never said anything about his feelings for her. In fact, he's ready to finally let go of the hope that Jaclyn will ever see him as anything more than a friend. That is, until she kisses him. In front of her mother.

What starts as a spur-of-the-moment scheme to get her mom off her back soon spirals out of control. The entire town thinks they're in love. Their chemistry is off the charts. And the more lies Jaclyn tells everyone else, the more she starts to wonder: has she been lying to herself all along?
