"My credit card was declined, Mr. Wrong keeps knocking on my door, and I think my meddling parents are behind the whole fiasco!" Social studies teacher Val Bellini is minutes away from her breaking point when Evan Shurden-the charming Tech Ed teacher-steps in.

Evan can't stop thinking about Val even when he should be looking out for his best friend's widow. So, he's caught off guard when Val proposes a no-strings hook-up with a side of fake dating.

What starts as a charade quickly turns into complicated feelings. Between dodging setups, engaging in flirty road trip banter, and navigating roller-coaster emotions, Val feels like she's spinning out of control on the dancing pole of life.

As attraction simmers and blurs the line between pretense and reality, they discover that faking love might be more precarious than falling for the real thing.
