Sixteen-year-old Madison Michaels has never been in love, and that’s fine by her. Having an exceedingly overprotective father doesn’t leave much wiggle room for boys, let alone love. Madison’s father, Pablo Perez, dutifully enforces Rule #4: Stay Away from Boys! Everything changes, however, when new student Ben Warren shows up in Madison’s English class. With his good looks and kind-hearted ways, he captures Madison’s heart. Unfortunately, Madison’s newfound feelings have to be kept a secret. A secret from her adoptive twin sisters, Caro and Tina; her friend, Nina Abbott, who has fallen for Ben too; and best friends Elena Mercado and Mari Rosales, (especially Mari) who believes Ben is a troublemaker from whom everyone should stay away. As Madison’s feelings for Ben grow, so do her lies. However, lies, like corks, eventually float to the surface. And when they do, all key players are there to witness it, including Nina who, obsessed with Pride and Prejudice, believes that Ben is her “Mr. Darcy” and Madison now her “frenemy.” Madison knows she can’t fall in love. Madison knows she can’t be with Ben. Madison knows better, but her heart does not.
