A spicy, small-town, forbidden romance between a nerdy virgin and her tattooed bad boy crush -- who also happens to be her cousin's best friend. Perfect for fans of steamy opposites-attract stories, fake dating, and protective alpha males who swear they don't do love... until her.
If you love swoony tension, hot banter, and heat that practically drips off the page, this one's for you.

It all started with a fake date...

Carly
They say, 'Don't judge a book by its cover,' but as an avid reader of those kinds of booksand a proud member of my mom's book club, I know better.
So when I laid eyes on a hot, tattooed, pierced bad boy with milk chocolate eyes and hair that begs to be tugged, I knew I was in trouble. The way he looks at me? Let's just say, I haven't felt this kind of heat since my last spicy read.
It's lust at first sight.
But there's one tiny problem.
I'm a virgin.
Okay, two problems. He's my overprotective cousin's best friend.

Jase
I know that look. I've seen it more times than I can count -- and I know exactly what it means.
She wants me.
The hot, nerdy little blonde with big blue eyes, a killer bod, and that sweet, innocent energy that makes me want to ruin her in the best possible way.
And I want her too.
The only thing is, she's off-limits. Best friend's cousin. Not to mention, I'm not exactly Prince Charming. I'm more... Prince Albert.
No strings. No fairy tales. Just heat, ink, and hitting the waves.
But Carly? She's making everything... hard.

One fake date. One off-limits bad boy. One virgin who just might ruin his no-strings streak for good.
