A book blurb on a pink background details the start of a fake relationship between West Calloway and his brother's best friend, including dating lessons and protection from a stalker. Poker chips and playing cards are at the bottom.
The continuation of the book blurb describes the secret dating lessons, kissing, and sleeping in the same bed, with the rule that the brother cannot find out. It hints at blurring lines between fake and real feelings.
