I'm used to getting what I want. And what I want is Ashley. The girl I drove right into Hayes' arms. The girl who is no longer interested in me at all. But I have a secret weapon. Talia Smith, Hayes' ex-girlfriend, who wants him back as much as I want Ashley. It doesn't matter that our kiss is what broke up Talia and Hayes in the first place. The same kiss that ruined my relationship with Ashley. Because even though we screwed up, we're going to work as a team to get what we want. By pretending to be together, we'll make Hayes and Ashley realize what they're missing. But things don't go the way I plan. Pretty soon, the only thing I'm pretending is that I'm not falling for Talia. Because I am. Suddenly, what I care about most is proving to Talia that my feelings for her are genuine. But I know that will be difficult, since I'm the guy who always plays dirty.
