Kate romanticizes the relationships of many fictional couples, but in real life her only true couple is her and Mick, the sexy quarterback she's been in love with for what seems like forever. There's one semester left in her final school year, and this is her only chance to get him to prom. Since she's incompetent at flirting, Katie counts on the help of Cooper Callian, a guy who became popular seemingly overnight, but with whom she used to be friends. Cooper lives and breathes rowing, but his partner just recently suffered a wrist injury. When Cooper remembers that Kate can handle an oar, he makes a deal: she will help him with training, and he will make sure that her lover pays attention to her. But Cooper has no idea how much he will get used to spending time with her. And he doesn’t even realize that the more successful the “operation” is, the more jealous he will be. The mission has begun. All steps have been calculated. But what if the wrong guy was the target all along?
