Lily Smith has come to town to confront a man claiming to be her father -- and ends up facing a lot of questions she's not ready to answer. When Zane proposes a fake relationship to keep nosy citizens and matchmakers at bay, Lily agrees. After all, it's just pretend…right? But when family secrets and old wounds come to light, will their budding romance survive the season?
