He is the elusive rock star. She makes the ideal motivator. They shouldn't have fallen in love with one another. Can the bad boy and decent girl make it work when the sparks fly, though?
Hailey Danielson is a whole woman. She's a straight-A student, the cheerleading captain, and the ideal daughter. But she has trouble getting over a humiliating split. Hailey vows not to date because she has to work on herself before getting engaged with anybody else, rather than worrying about boys.
The bad guy of Evermore is Trey Carter. He is infamous for vehemently refusing to date anyone. He is mainly concerned with his music and seeking a record deal with a nearby label.
The label won't sign him until he can build a local fan following, though, so there's a catch. That Trey Carter drives people away is unfortunate.
When Hailey and Trey are forced to work together on a high school English assignment, they come to an agreement: Hailey would utilize her social media popularity to gain Trey fans in exchange for Trey taking the project seriously so she can maintain her straight-A grade.
Hailey finds herself drawn to the mysterious musician's gruff charms as they collaborate. Trey, too? He has a sneaking suspicion that the cheerful cheerleader is hiding something. They both originate from various universes, though.
Will their differences cause the Golden Girl and the Bad Boy to split up, or can they make it work?
