Tessa has been working at her family’s French bakery for as long as she can remember. She dreams of becoming a pastry chef, but her mother insists they just continue selling bread and baked goods, not dessert. So she lives out her dreams on her YouTube channel, creating desserts for her small but loyal following of viewers.
The Castorinis run the Italian restaurant next door. Years and years ago, the two families had a feud and there’s been bad blood ever since. The Castorinis’ son, Leo, has ideas about how to move his family's restaurant into the future, but his father wants no part of these ideas. Tradition is tradition. His father believes if Leo just settles down and gets married, the restaurant will succeed.
Leo and Tessa were high school rivals and there’s some history between them. So when Leo first suggests to Tessa that they pretend to get married in order to save both families' businesses, it’s the last thing she wants to do, despite how handsome he is. But little by little, she realizes he might be right, so she agrees to a six-month arrangement; after that, they can go their separate ways and get on with their lives.
But the course of fake marriages never go smoothly, and it’s not long before the newlyweds are falling for each other for real. But each has secrets of their own and they need to figure out what they want from their lives and from each other for the first time.
