Cassandra Laverick may avoid real relationships, but she excels at fake ones. With only one competitor in the way, her internet show Check, Please! is on the way to being the highest-viewed online show. But, while Cass is great at drawing out authenticity from her guests, she struggles to do so in her private life.

That changes when the world starts shipping her with well-known actor Elias Flores. The industry chewed him up and spit him out, leaving him bitter and jaded. Slightly older, hardened by public breakups, and serious about his illustrious career; Elias puts his work before anything else. No matter how hard he tries, his relationships fall apart, and award season doesn't treat him better than his exes.

When Cass and Elias meet on the red carpet, the world instantly falls in love with their supposed chemistry. What happens when a publicity stunt becomes more than these two are ready for?
