Summary
Ben Cobalt moves to New York, an escape he wants but also is extremely unsure about. Now a student at Manhattan Valley University, he is ready to embrace his new normalcy and have a fresh start. But when a MVU professor turns out to be pretty unaccommodating, Ben is reintroduced to Harriet Fisher. He once said that she is his only friend but what if she becomes more than that? What if she becomes his mentor? What if she becomes his girlfriend? What if she becomes more?
Harriet Fisher is a busy girl. Many jobs, a past that keeps her up at night, a small family she wants to give the world to, and ambitions that she will go to any length for, her schedule is packed. In that schedule, she has to now make time for Ben Cobalt, a guy she just cannot understand. She does, and what starts off as mere friendship and an academic exchange becomes much more complicated when the knowledge of an inheritance and a proposed arrangement entangles her and her new friend.

Summary
Harriet Fisher has lived a lifetime by the time she turned nineteen. After leaving behind Philadelphia and the heartbreak of that city, she has embraced New York City. While focusing on her music career and pre-med schooling, she becomes best friends with Ben Cobalt. When she finally sets her heart on a potential relationship, she realizes she knows nothing about… love. But her best friend does, and she turns to him with a proposition that will be useful to her.
Ben Cobalt, the hopeless romantic and MVU hockey player extraordinaire, is stumped when Krisha Kapoor, Fizzle’s board member, suggests he date her granddaughter. He cannot upset a board member, not when she holds importance for more than just Fizzle in Philadelphia’s business circle. But he cannot do this. He cannot fake affection during dates he has no care for. He cannot fake love. So, when his best friend demands to learn about love, he asks her to be his girlfriend for show until sometime.
It’s just a useful pretence for Harriet. It’s just a decoy for Ben. What could go wrong?
