When she signs up for the Dumont Gala for Non-Profits, she knows it's the youth center's last hope. All she has to find is one wealthy donor and Madison Dumont might lead to that perfect connection. Madison and Parker both have ulterior motives when they agree to fake date and neither are worried love will get in the way. But when these two end up at a sex party, things heat up fast. Can one weekend in Tahoe lead to something real?

She never wanted to move back home, but she's making the most of it, turning her family's sleepy bakery into a cupcake destination.

But when the rest of the truth comes out, neither Leslie nor Ty believes there's a way forward. Sometimes believing in love is the first step. And sometimes it's all about trusting the stars.
