An English teacher desperate to pass college algebra. A boyfriend-for-hire eager to dissuade a clingy client. Can a fake relationship help these two frenemies reach their goals?

Juliette Dubois is one semester away from her dream internship at a private arts high school - if she can pass college algebra. Troy, her roommate’s frustratingly handsome best friend, is willing to help, but the price might be too high for her pride.

Troy’s coveted unpaid internship at a top-rated Los Angeles architecture firm makes holding down a regular job impossible. That’s why his side gig as a boyfriend-for-hire is perfect - at least, until one of his clients decides she’s in love with him. Desperate to appear taken, Troy begs Juliette to pretend to be his girlfriend.

Panicked by her failing math grade, Juliette agrees to help Troy in exchange for private tutoring sessions. But as the line between fantasy and reality blurs, Juliette is faced with her roommate’s growing jealousy and her own growing feelings for Troy.

Can her heart survive the fallout of fake dating a frenemy?
