He thinks he can break my heart, but you have to have a heart in order for it to break . . .
It was supposed to be a one-time thing. Nothing more than a momentary lapse in sanity with my best friend's stepbrother that we agreed to never speak of again. Simple. Or at least it should've been, considering we didn't even like each other.
But the universe has a sick sense of humor, because after avoiding Holden for the better part of a year, we both end up at Hadley University. To make matters worse, he lives right across the hall from me. He's everything I shouldn't want. Arrogant. Reckless. Crude. An obnoxious playboy who only wants what he can't have. And worst of all? He wants to finish what we started a year ago.
Unfortunately for me, time has done nothing to dull my inconvenient attraction to him. What's the worst that could happen? I'm heartless and he's empty. But the more time we spend together, I realize there's more to him hidden beneath all that debauchery. Loyal. Protective. Broken. Maybe we're not so different after all. And just maybe he is capable of breaking my heart.
If the ghosts of our pasts don't destroy us first.
