The course of true love was never supposed to start on a stair climber...
Preslee Owens has never worked out in a gym before. Like truly never. Until today. As she struggles to stay upright on the stair climber, she accidentally broadcasts a vlog that lets complete strangers-and even worse, people in her own small town--witness the hilarious start to her fitness journey. To her surprise and mortification, viewers love it.
The positive reaction leaves Preslee with no choice but to return-and the discovery that her unrequited crush, Josh, works out in the same gym is a big bonus. It also helps that her new personal trainer is making sure she doesn't kill herself in the process. In fact, Adam has even offered to pretend to be her boyfriend to help make Josh a little jealous.
Having Adam cheering her on brings out a strength and confidence Preslee barely recognizes in herself. And soon she's enjoying being his fake girlfriend waaay too much. But will her newfound courage allow her to face her biggest fear yet and seize the life she truly wants?
Max Hager has been eating lunch at the same Granite, Texas, diner for the past ten years. Not only is he a loyal customer, but he's also good friends with the owner, "Pops." For years, Pops has gone out of his way to make Max any special lunch he wants. So when Pops confides that the diner is in danger of closing because of the new food truck across the street, Max concocts the perfect plan. He'll pretend to be the town's new health inspector and get the food truck shut down.
Jessa Gibson may be new in town, but her gourmet food truck business is booming and it's only a matter of time before she has enough money saved to open the restaurant of her dreams. So when the health inspector appears, Jessa is more than ready to correct the violations he's insisting she's breached...if only they made any sense. Smiling her best fake smile at the cocky--and annoyingly handsome-- inspector, Jessa gets to work.
When Max appears the next day he's shocked to see sweet, gullible Jessa actually followed the ridiculous guidelines he made up on the spot. Suddenly, the voluptuous redhead is feeding him an insanely delicious meal. The next thing he knows, Max has Jessa in his bed, and she's quickly making her way into his heart. But, how can he reveal his secret without losing her for good?
It's not easy to watch your weight when you're starting your own bakery. And since Leah Martin is still reeling after her ex dumped her, an éclair fresh from the oven makes the night seem less lonely.
When Sam meets Leah in the bar one night, he's tongue-tied and leaves her with the mistaken impression that he's not interested because she's not thin enough. But when he finds himself helping Leah deliver a wedding cake to her ex-boyfriend's wedding, he comes to her rescue after a pushy woman insults Leah about her dating prospects and her weight, by proclaiming he's her fiancé. Leah is furious. Because that pushy woman is her mom and now her family can't wait for the wedding.
So Sam and Leah make a deal -- Leah will bake his favorites and he will make her parents hate him. Then the wedding will be off. But as Sam starts to fall for Leah, and Leah for Sam, they begin to realize that this fake love affair might just be the real thing
