"These rules," he says, gingerly cupping my cheek. "This list, this idea, this fantasy you have of the perfect man is an ideal Ender. It's not real. But this," He steps forward, closing the space between us. "This is insanely real." Rule#53: Bad is never good. Never fall for a badboy because they are, and forever will be, one thing: Trouble. And nothing good can come out of trouble. Ender Collins had the perfect plan: Drift through the middle, survive her last year of highschool, and create the perfect checklist.

When one night at a party ends with her witnessing something she shouldn't, she decides to take advantage of the situation the first chance she gets.

When Jace agrees to her outlandish terms, Ender knows she has her ticket to the big league. Through ridiculous rules, hideous makeovers, and outrageous rules, Jace will make Ender the most wanted girl on campus. That is, if she can protect her heart along the way.

Hudson Ellis is good at his job. Somehow, he manages not to annoy people when he knocks at their doors and asks them to contribute to the charity he works for - instead, he gets them to sign up for sponsoring programmes and fish whatever spare change they have out of their pockets. Even the infamously tough residents of New York City are falling victim to Hudson's easy-going ways and wide smile; that is, until one woman renders him speechless with sarcastic refusals and slams her door in his face. Perhaps Hudson would be able to forget her - if it wasn't for the fact that she lives on the same floor of the next apartment over, and they both have floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for a rather generous view into each other's flats.
