Kendall Jackson has supported her family her whole life, but when her girlfriend unceremoniously dumps her and takes all their clients with her, she's floundering to find a new income stream and nurse her broken heart. Then her ex bids on the same outdoor renovation project that Kendall desperately needs, and she just loses her mind. That's the only explanation she has for attempting to make her ex regret her decision by letting her think she's dating beautiful park ranger Ivy Patterson.

Ivy is a romantic. She wants a real relationship, not a fake one. But her mother won't stop matchmaking and constant blind dates are more tiring than fun. When Kendall is in trouble, surprisingly, Ivy jumps to her rescue by announcing they're dating. Ivy doesn't see the harm, especially if it keeps her mom satisfied. But there's nothing fake about how attracted she is to Kendall. What happens when their feelings become all too real?
