About the book: 2014 / Nineteen-year-old Cheyenne tries to create an image of an ideal life in order to hide the memories of her past. But her picture of perfection is threatened when, in her first year of college, she discovers her boyfriend with another girl. At twenty-one, Colt never aspired to college or expected any success. But when his mother's dying wish turns out to be for him to get a diploma, he has no choice but to pretend that he wants the same. Cheyenne needs a "fake" boyfriend to get back at her ex and Colt needs money to take care of his mother, so they make a deal that will help them both. But what if Cheyenne's past isn't what she imagined? And soon they exchange one charade after another, losing themselves in each other to forget about their pain. But the longer they play this game, the more it becomes the only real thing for them. Both Cheyenne and Colt know that life is never simple, but neither of them expects the tragedy that will end this farce and separate them forever.
