When a panicked college student runs into her ex—now dating her nemesis—she impulsively kisses the most attractive stranger at the bar. He’s a professional hockey player ten years her senior, and his parting words, “You owe me,” thrust her into a fake relationship that quickly becomes a lifeline. He helps her secure an internship and shields her from a meddling ex, while she keeps his past love at bay. As their arrangement deepens, nights in her dorm blur the lines between friendship and something more, leaving her to wonder if the right kiss was truly timed, or if the clock is ticking down on a love that might never be hers.
