This is more PG-13 than my other novels (think Gossip Girl vs Disney Channel) and if that is not to your taste, please don't read!

An ex with a vengeance...

She'll give him the relationship of his dreams...right before ripping his heart out.
Of course, she has rules about that sort of thing. No dating for more than two weeks and never date the same guy twice.

But pretending to fall for her first crush all over again? This will take the performance of a lifetime.
