He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

When Reece Macpherson was thirteen, she fell in love. Not with someone her own age but with her oldest brother's best friend, Kane Jackson, who was four years older than her. But this wasn't just a one-sided thing. He loved her, too. At least that's what she thought. Now four years later, Reece is 'little miss player' at school, going out with two or three different boys every week. She was just looking to have fun and not commitment. Ever since Kane broke her heart and moved all the way across the country to go to college and play basketball, Reece had never thought that love could be real. Reece never expected to see Kane again...until she walked into class after Christmas break of her senior year and found out that he was her new teacher and boys' basketball coach! But teaching isn't the only reason why Kane came back... And he's keeping a bigger secret than even Reece could have imagined.

The first time I walked into a bank I had a cold and I sneezed, I mumbled something about slobber coming from my mouth but a person near misheard and thought that I said robber and everyone went into freak out mode. In the third grade I walked in on my teacher and the principal, she gave me A’s for the rest of the year despite my reluctance. She wouldn’t believe me when I said that I would forget anything ever happened – and believe me I wanted to forget it. My whole life has been a mix of bad luck, misfortune and lots and lots of awkward moments. And by the looks of things, my lifestyle wasn’t about to change. Once again I’d stumbled my way into something; little did I know just how big this seemingly small occurrence would turn out to be.
