"Would you rather fake date someone who drives you crazy or lose your dream job?
Madeline
My whole life is meticulously planned out in the pages of my notebook. But I couldn't have planned to be on the front page of a magazine with Lucas Silva, a well-known model, holding me in his arms.
Now I have to decide whether to sacrifice my one chance at landing my dream job or take my chances fooling the press as Lucas' supposed girlfriend.
The rules are simple: no dating other people, no kissing, and no falling in love. But the more time I spend with him, the more the rules blur until I can't remember why I'm trying so hard not to give in.
Lucas
I will do whatever it takes to make sure my family is taken care of, even if that includes pretending to be in a relationship with a girl who drives me crazy. Madeline is infuriating, maddening, and everything I shouldn't want. Yet amid the fake dates and the stolen moments, I start to see the side she doesn't show anyone else, and I begin to think that maybe, just maybe, she's everything I want."
"Spin the bottle to decide your fate.
Leila
I have rules. Dating? Out of the question. One night stands? That's my specialty. That is until an unexpected game of spin the bottle lands me face-to-face with Aiden Pierce, Redfield's basketball team captain. Aiden is captivating, talented, and persistent, and he slowly chips away at my defenses until we strike a deal. No strings attached and absolute secrecy. It was supposed to be uncomplicated, but the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to remember why we can't be together.
Aiden
This was never part of the plan. Leila Pérez is tempting, assertive, and unattainable. And after one hot night that has etched itself in my mind, leaving me craving more, we made an arrangement. Keep it physical, and don't catch feelings. But the more I see her, the more my desire for her deepens, even as her hesitations try to push me away. I'm determined to prove to her how good we can be together if only she'd take the leap. There's just one problem. I'm hiding something from her, threatening to unravel everything we've built."
"Never have I ever asked a stranger to take my virginity.
Rosalie
I have a plan. A goal. It never occurred to me how sheltered I was until I played—and failed—a game of Never Have I Ever. Now, I have a list of firsts I want to experience. And there's only one person who can help me with it.
Grayson is the complete opposite of me. Tattoos, dark hair, piercings. You name it, he's probably done it. And now I'm on the way to ask him to take my virginity and to show me his world, how he lives, how I can be like him.
Grayson
An angel. Those are the first words that come to mind when I see Rosalie standing outside of my door, holding a dirty to-do list in her hands, begging me to corrupt her.
I should say no. Everything in me screams that this is a bad idea. I'm the bad guy, the fuck up, the guy who doesn't do relationships. She's a good girl, innocent, and believes in love.
This will never work. So why do I want to say yes?"
