It started as a bet at a packed frat party. As BU hockey royalty, I’m used to easy wins. Girls chase. Doors open. Nothing’s off-limits.
So when my teammates dare me to make the quiet girl by the door fall for me, it’s not even a challenge. But up close? Wren Marin is trouble disguised as restraint. She doesn’t flirt.
She doesn’t chase. And she definitely doesn’t want me. Suddenly my reputation is on the line. We strike a deal: She pretends to be my girlfriend. I help her make her crush jealous. Temporary. Mutual.
Simple. Except nothing about Wren is simple. Late-night study sessions start as strategy—my excuse to get close. But somewhere along the way, I forget the bet I thought this would be an easy win.
But then the truth comes out— and I’m the one on my knees. And now, if I’m going to get Wren back, I have to prove I know the difference between taking something… and earning it.
