But Chryssy's innocent run-in with celebrity cellist and bad boy Vin Chao has everyone brewing about a different kind of tea. So he offers her a deal: they'll fake-date, he'll "break" her heart (and increase ticket sales), and in return, he'll promote her business.
It's like Chryssy's whole cursed love life has been leading up to this moment. But all it takes is one kiss--and a whole lot of unexpected chemistry--to land both of them in hot water ...
