Ever since her fiancé's death over a year ago, Emma has been sleepwalking through life, and her family is growing increasingly worried about her. Enter Josh Callahan, her brother's best friend. Josh is obnoxiously good-looking and, even more annoyingly, in a perpetually cheerful mood. Though he may drive her crazy, his suggestion to fake date him is brilliant because there are no feelings involved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt least, not at first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh school football coach and volunteer firefighter Josh Callahan is a fun-loving guy who is all about friends, family, and community. After his wife left him, he committed to staying un-committed, except now he's earned the nickname Heartbreaker of Highland Falls. Spending time with Emma will improve his rep while she can remember what it means to get out and enjoy life again. And his plan works...until Josh realizes that the feelings he has for Emma are all too real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut is Emma ready to share her heart again?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma and Josh's fake dating arrangement starts as a way for them to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. But as they spend more time together, they discover that they have a lot in common and that they are genuinely attracted to each other. They start to develop real feelings for each other, but they are both hesitant to admit it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day, Emma's ex-fiancé, Jack, returns to Highland Falls. Jack has been away for a while, and Emma is surprised to see him again. Jack wants to rekindle their relationship, but Emma is not interested. She is still healing from the loss of her fiancé and is not ready to be in a relationship again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosh is supportive of Emma's decision, but he also realizes that he has feelings for her. He tries to convince Emma that they should be together, but she is not convinced. She is still dealing with her grief and is not ready to commit to another relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs time goes on, Emma and Josh continue to fake date each other. They go on dates, have fun together, and develop a close friendship. But they are both hiding their true feelings from each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne day, Emma's family and friends throw her a surprise party to celebrate her birthday. At the party, Emma's ex-fiancé, Jack, confronts her about her feelings for Josh. He tells her that he still loves her and that he wants to be with her. Emma is torn between her feelings for Josh and her loyalty to Jack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJosh is also struggling with his feelings for Emma. He knows that he has to respect her decision and let her move on at her own pace. But he can't help but feel that he has lost the chance to be with the woman he loves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Emma decides to be with Jack. She realizes that she is still healing from the loss of her fiancé and that she is not ready to be in a relationship with anyone else. Josh is disappointed, but he understands that Emma's decision is the right one for her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma and Jack rekindle their relationship, and they are happy together.
