There are those moments in life that are provocative in their very existence, that embed in our minds forever, and sometimes our very souls. They change us, mold us, maybe even save us. But some are darker, dangerous. If we allow them to, they control us. Seduce us. Quite possibly even destroy us. The moment Nick 'Tiger' Rogers walked into Sonoma’s Reid Winter Winery and Vineyard and made eye contact with Faith Winter for the first time was one of those moments. Provocative because he knows at least one of her secrets, of which, he suspects she has many. Provocative because she believes he was a stranger to her when they met, but he's not. Provocative because he sought her out, with no intention of touching her. But now he has. Now he wants her. Now he has to have her. But that changes nothing. It doesn’t change why he came for her. He made her trust him. And then he trusted her. He wanted her. He loved her. But now, the lies will be exposed, the truth revealed. Hearts will be broken. Lives shattered. For Nick and Faith, nothing will ever be the same.

The Tech sisters don't date in high school. Not because they're not asked. Not because they're not interested. Not even because no one can pronounce their long, Thai last name-hence the shortened, awkward moniker. But simply because they're not allowed. Until now. In a move that other Asian American girls know all too well, six months after the older Tech twins got to college, their parents asked, "Why aren't you engaged yet?" The sisters retaliated by vowing that they won't marry for ten (maybe even twenty!) years, not until they've had lots of dating practice. In a shocking war on the status quo, her parents now insist that their youngest daughter, Orrawin (aka "Winnie"), must date in high school. Under their watchful eyes, of course - and on dates they organize based on their favorite rom-coms. The first candidate? The son of their longtime friends, Mat Songsomboon-arrogant, dreamy, and infuriating. Winnie's known him since they were toddlers throwing sticky rice balls at each other. Her parents love him, so naturally he's the perfect person for her to pretend date. If only he weren't her sworn enemy.
