The lady that runs the boarding house has her nephew come stay with her for a couple of weeks to relax before his football camp begins. Rana tries desprately to not notice his handsome features and athletic build. Trent is hard to push off though because he is very much interested in Rana even though she is rather plain looking. And her style is rather frumpy. Trent can get any woman he wants. They fall in love but Rana doesn't want to reveal her true identity for fear of Trent not being able to trust her ever again or understanding?"
