Synopsis
His
challenge? Make her fall in love with him.
Her
challenge? Play the player.
Until
life changes the rules of the game.
Maddie
Stevens hated Braden Carter on sight. Arrogant, egotistical, and the playboy of
the University of California, Berkeley, he's everything her brother Pearce has
taught her to despise. So why, when the girls challenge her to play the player,
doesn't she say no? She doesn't know either.
Braden
wanted fiery little Maddie the second he laid eyes on her - and he'd do
anything to have her, hence why he's agreed to make her fall in love with him.
After all, it's the only way he'll get what he wants. Sex.
But,
as Braden discovers, there's more to the girl from Brooklyn than he ever
imagined - and he can't help but care about the broken girl behind those pretty
green eyes.
Maddie
finds Braden isn't just a walking erection - he actually has feelings. He can
be sweet, funny and his good looks don't exactly hurt. That means trouble - but
when her brother Pearce turns up in Berkeley begging for her help, she realises
Braden and Pearce aren't so alike anymore.
And
maybe, just maybe, they're exactly what each other needs.
Excerpt
He slides one of his
arms around me and pulls me to him so my back is flush against his chest, both
of our arms wrapping my stomach. “See? I've got you. It's fine, Angel.”
“This is crazy. Never
again is Megan organizing a date.”
“Yeah, she got a good
one with this.” He laughs again and I shake my head.
“No, no, she didn't.
This is terrible.”
“Really? I would have
thought that being up against me would be a good thing.”
“Maybe it would be if
I could actually focus on the fact I'm pressed against your body.”
“Well, then.” He
spins so he's in front of me, skating backwards.
“Braden, you can't
see where we're going!”
“That's your job.”
“Oh my god.” I try
looking over his shoulder but I can't. He's too tall, dammit. “You're too
tall!”
“Then you just have
to trust me.” His lips take mine in a searing kiss and I gasp inwardly,
grabbing hold of him tightly. His hands find my waist and pull my hips against
him, our speed slowing slightly. He goes to deepen the kiss, his tongue tracing
between my lips, and I nip his bottom lip before I open to him. My fingers
tangle in his hair as our tongues meet, starting an intricate dance of want.
For a second, I
forget the game. I forget the fake relationship. I forget the fact I'm on
roller-skates and Braden isn't-
“Oomph!” Braden
grunts, hitting the floor. I laugh, rolling off him.
“I told you we didn't
know where we were going!” I say through my laughter, blades of grass tickling
my ears.
“Hey.” He rolls
towards me, propping himself up on his elbow. His hair flops down towards my
face, casting little shadows over us. “I totally knew where we were going until
you distracted me.”
“I distracted you?
Oh no, mister. You kissed me, not the other way around.”
“And I didn't hear
any complaints about that.”
“Maybe that's because
there weren't any.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Then let's try
again.”
