"You thought I woudnt find out?" "Find out what?" You respond nonchalantly and low. His footsteps echoed on the rooftop. You felt how he gotten directly behind you. How he stood so close that you could feel the heat radiating off his body. He touched you, but you didn't flinch. His fingertips grazing through your skin tight suit, starting from your lower hip, to your back, and lastly the nape of your neck. His large hand wrapped around your neck, firmly pressing his fingertips on the sides. He made you slowly tilt your head all the way back until the back of your head pressed against his chest. He leaned closer to your ear, whispering a warning that made you want to do exactly that. "Don't fuckin' play with me." ***** A long undercover mission you were sent on changes you more than you think. And those extreme changes caused serious problems.

When Charlotte agrees to fake date bad boy Mason to make her best friend and secret crush, Ben, jealous, she thinks it will be a simple arrangement. The rules are clear and she's certain of her goal: make Ben fall in love with her. So why does it seem like the lines always blur when Mason is around? *** Charlotte Anderson has secretly been in love with her best friend, Ben Hathaway, since childhood, though he's never seen her as anything but the girl next door. After witnessing Ben kissing another girl at a party, a heartbroken Charlotte accidentally admits her crush to notorious bad boy Mason Reed... who also happens to be one of Ben's closest friends. But Mason isn't going to tell Charlotte's secret; instead, he suggests they fake a relationship to make Ben jealous. They create a set of strict rules for the arrangement: no kissing when Ben isn't around, no sex, and no falling in love. But as their fake relationship progresses, and Mason's walls break down, Charlotte finds herself questioning her true feelings for both boys, and wondering if some rules are meant to be broken-especially when it comes to love.
