Single mother April Parker has lived in Willow Creek for twelve years with a wall around her heart. Mitch Malone is known for being the life of every party. He needs a favor from April: she'll pretend to be his girlfriend at an upcoming family dinner. April reluctantly agrees, but when dinner turns into a weekend trip, it becomes hard to tell what's real and what's been just for show. But when the weekend ends, so must their fake relationship. As summer begins, Faire returns to Willow Creek, and April volunteers for the first time. When Mitch's family shows up unexpectedly, April pretends to be Mitch's girlfriend again...and it doesn't feel so fake anymore. When there's the chance for something real, she has to decide whether to open her heart-for the kilt-wearing hunk who might just be the love of her life.
