CLOVER ROWAN WALSH knows The Plan™. 1. Get a full ride to her dream school, Wexley University. 2. Conquer the school of business. 3. Say goodbye to the paycheck-to-paycheck life she and her mom have known for years. There's just one hiccup. With the first semester rapidly approaching, Clover learns her housing grant has fallen through. But a loophole presents itself: Married couples can live in the dorms for the price of one student. Clover is willing to sacrifice the sanctity of marriage . . . even if it means proposing to the one person she swore she'd never speak to again. Bennett Andrew Graves is the only heir to the Graves Coffee empire. After spending his first year at Wexley, squeaking by in classes and becoming personally acquainted with the female student body, he is looking forward to living off campus. Until the girl he grew up with (and whom he completely devastated years ago) walks back into his life with the most absurd question: Will you marry me? Bennett can't refuse Clover. He owes her this, but that doesn't change the fact that these two can barely carry on a conversation without getting at each other's throats. Forget about sharing a dorm-much less one bed. But as Clover and Bennett hide the true nature of their marriage, they find that playing house isn't all that bad-especially with certain marital benefits in the mix. In fact, Clover and Bennett are soon forgetting the most important part of their fake marriage of convenience . . . that it's supposed to be fake.

Millie kicsi kora óta egy fogyitáborban tölti a nyári szünidőt. Kivéve talán az ideit. Ebben az évben ugyanis titkos terveket szövöget - hírolvasónak készül, és reméli, hogy részt vehet az austini egyetem újságírói táborán. Mindeközben pedig folyton arról ábrándozik, hogy végre sikerül megcsókolnia a fiút, aki már régóta tetszik neki. Callie a suli csini csaja, a pomponcsapat kapitányi posztjának várományosa, és persze a város egyik legnépszerűbb pasijának barátnője. Minden sínen van az életében, amíg ki nem derül, hogy a helyi edzőterem - ahol Millie dolgozik - már nem tudja szponzorálni a csapatát. Callie-ék úgy döntenek, bosszúból megdobálják a helyet vécépapírral és tojással. Azonban ha a lány előre sejtette volna, hogy a kivillanó medálja elárulja majd a biztonsági kamera felvételén, aztán a tánccsapat rákeni az egész balhét, a pasija meg szakít vele, akkor tuti jobban átgondolta volna a dolgot... Callie-nek végül az edzőteremben kell ledolgoznia az okozott károkat. Itt ismerkedik meg Millie-vel, és hamarosan mindkettőjük számára kiderül, hogy jóval több közös vonásuk van, mintsem gondolták, és mély barátság kezd kibontakozni közöttük.

Ott találkozott a szexi magániskolás exsportolóval, Bóval. Willt nem is lepi meg, hogy vonzódik a fiúhoz, de az már igen, hogy a dolog kölcsönös. Ahelyett, hogy Will ettől még magabiztosabbá válna, kételkedni kezd magában. Végül úgy dönt, úgy szerzi vissza régi önmagát, hogy megteszi a legrémisztőbb dolgot, amit csak el tud képzelni: jelentkezik a Miss Clover City szépségversenyre, hogy megmutassa, pontosan annyira megérdemli azt, hogy ott álljon, mint a sok vékony lány.
