Alice found a path, one that somehow led her back to 1942, to a country fighting for its survival, and to Gil. But Alice couldn't stay. Back in 2012, she has found and lost Gil all over again. She made him a promise, one she will do anything to keep. Now she just has to find that path again. When something unbelievable happens, is it too much to ask for it to happen twice?

Frat King Carter Hopkins is a master in the art of objectifying women. In his time at Scottsden University, he’s developed a fool-proof rating system to figure out who's worth his time, and who's not. And Violet Gables, an awkward and seemingly plain freshman, comes up short as only a six and half out of ten—and is therefore not on Carter's radar. But when Violet saves a drunken Carter Hopkins from losing his soccer scholarship at a frat party, Carter feels he’s in her debt and wants to repay her somehow. He decides to grace her with the ultimate weapon--the secrets on how to make any guy find her attractive. Carter unveils the logic of his rating system, with a guarantee that though Violet may look like a 6 ½, by the time he’s through with her, any guy will rate her as a 10. As obnoxious as Carter may be, Violet plays his game just so she can prove him wrong in the end. But what happens if Carter's plan starts to succeed, and guys begin treating Violet like the 10 she's secretly long to be. And what if Carter starts to develop feelings for his project, but now she's out of his league? After all, love is just a numbers game, and the highest score always wins. Please follow/comment/vote!
