When her relationship advice blog accidentally goes viral, aspiring writer Elena Lucia lands a book deal that launches her career. But to make a bigger splash at the book launch, the publisher expects her to reveal the identity of the perfect boyfriend referenced in her posts. Problem is: that guy doesn't exist. Torn between coming clean or continuing to support her loyal readers, she reluctantly accepts help from her childhood frenemy to stop her career from going up in flames. After traveling for years to grow his business, Jackson St. Julien is back home for an extended break. When he discovers Elena--his sister's best friend--is in a jam, he offers to step in as her doting boyfriend. He isn't surprised that Elena's guard is up. While he'd always tried to boost her self-confidence growing up, she'd misread it as a personal attack. Maybe this facade is the perfect chance to finally set the record straight and repair their friendship.
