Hiring a fake boyfriend for a school reunion seems to be the only solution, but love was never part of the equation. Felix has enough on his plate looking out for his parents, let alone agreeing to being hired for a date with the friend of a friend.

But, somehow, he's agreeing to more dates, and more time with sexy Ethan and his non-stop talking. When stolen wintry kisses turn to love, and Christmas works its magic, Felix knows he's losing his heart. The science of chemistry makes more sense to Ethan than connecting with potential boyfriends, and he's wary of romance. Unsettled by a string of failed hookups, he knows it's on him when everything goes wrong and he can't help but wonder what has made him this way. His friend Jared says that Ethan needs to close metaphorical doors on past hurts-whatever that means-and that the school reunion might just be step one. Determined to show himself as confident and happy, he hires Felix to be his date for the night, but a kiss to make up for the one he missed at prom, and abruptly, it's not the past that is consuming his thoughts.Now all Felix has to do is show Ethan that it's okay to love and be loved in return, and that chemistry can lead to a happily ever after.

Jared is good at his job, but his soft heart means that he often finds himself in the weirdest of situations. A kind-of-threesome, a disappearing swan, and a destroyed hotel room are just the tip of the iceberg, but he is a popular boyfriend-for-hire and always in demand.

At a make-or-break meeting, Jared vows to focus on being strictly professional. Still, almost immediately, he meets Luka sitting on the office steps with pocket money in hand and with a sadness that melts Jared's resolve. Luka explains that his mom passed away some years ago, and his hardworking father needs a friend. Jared has no intention of taking Luka's pocket money, but he wants to make Luka smile again, and if being hired as a friend for Luka's widowed dad is what it takes, then he's all in.

There's certainly no time for relationships, and even though Luka worries about his dad's love life daily, romance is the last thing on Nate's agenda. Owning Rhea's Bar and keeping his head above water is second only to his love for Luka. His entire world consists of his son and the bar until Jared stumbles into his life. Even though Nate won't admit it, he's lonely, and Jared is the first friend he's made in a very long time. Could their friendship become something more?

What happens when you try to fix the past and end up threatening your future? Scott is struggling.

Moving in with him is his only option, but falling for the shy artist leaves Scott in an impossible situation, and one he can't escape.
