Revenge is a dish best served with a hot new boyfriend.

Melanie Bennett has it all. She’s one of the biggest names in pop music, on a sold-out cross-country tour, and just a signature away from finalizing her divorce. She should be on cloud nine, but despite the illusion that she’s perfectly put together, she’s crumbling inside.

After Melanie’s ex once again makes her the subject of endless internet gossip, she’s done playing nice, and proposes the one thing she knows will hurt his pride–a new boyfriend. When she cooks up a fake dating scheme with her friend and hit podcast host, Austin Rivas, Melanie is sure it will be the answer to all ‌her problems.

Before long, not only is Melanie’s revenge plan spiraling in unexpected directions, so is her relationship with Austin. Grappling with the crushing weight of maintaining her pop star persona while trying to find herself again, these new feelings have Melanie questioning everything. What started as an impulsive idea for petty revenge has her now realizing Austin’s steady presence and unwavering support might be more than she was prepared for.

Being Melanie’s boyfriend was never on Austin’s radar.

The Tracks podcast has seen unprecedented growth since joining Melanie Bennett on the road. Viewership is up, ratings are better than ever, and the entire team is loving the new content shift. After months of working together, Austin’s biggest surprise has come from behind-the-scenes–the friendship he’s developed with the star of his show.

Austin’s familiar with playing the supporting role, having done it for years with his own family. So when Melanie asks him to be her fake boyfriend, it’s an easy yes for him, even at the risk of exposing feelings he’s been hiding. What’s one more person to take care of–especially when Melanie could use someone in her corner?

Becoming Melanie’s boyfriend might not have been in the plans, but as lines blur and their relationship begins to feel anything but fake, it may be time to re-write the script.
