Gemma Callahan's life is spiraling out of control. Her parents' divorce and her father's financial troubles force her to pull the plug on her dream of attending McGill’s music program and find a job—any job—to help pay the growing pile of bills. It seems too good to be true when she lands a gig walking the dog of an eccentric billionaire. However, Gemma’s integrity is put to the test when her employer offers her an even more enticing reward to befriend his grandson. There’s a catch, though: Chase Buckner, is an insufferable piece of work. If it weren't for the fact that she needed the money, she would gladly kick his finely sculpted couture ass to the curb and never lay eyes on him again.

By all accounts, Chase Buckner had it all. He was the high school star quarterback, and a billionaire’s grandson with a hefty trust fund. But Chase's life is far from perfect. After flunking high school, he is carted off to Stonebridge, his grandfather’s estate, to spend the summer straightening his life out. He wouldn’t normally give Gemma Callahan, his grandfather’s newest hire, the time of day, but her unfaltering optimism continues to beguile him, drawing him out of his well of self-pity. He starts to wonder if he might actually have a chance at turning his life around…and maybe, just maybe, finding happiness in the truest friendship he’s ever known. Will it last when he discovers it’s all been a lie?
