BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Meet Jake Snyder, the ultimate playboy of Crosswell High. Handsome, rich, and dripping with sex appeal, he's a heartbreaker who doesn't believe in love-just in feeding his ego.
Jake's dating history reads like a teen rom-com bingo card: the girl-next-door, the nerd supreme, the confusing bisexual, the overachieving perfectionist, the Queen Bee, the unpredictable homeless girl, the liberated exchange student, and even a wild ride with Siamese twins.
But then there's Pepsi Lane. Just hearing her name makes Jake inexplicably thirsty, for some reason.
He's gone to great lengths to capture the attention of this enigmatic girl, but her aloofness only fuels his obsession. Rumors say she's a witch, and that anyone who gets too close might turn into a dog. Others whisper that her soul is darker than her lipstick and eyeliner. But Jake doesn't believe in fairy tales.
Pepsi is no ordinary girl; she's a force of nature, a whirlwind of mystery and magnetism. While Jake walks around like he's the puppet master, she's the one holding the strings... or is she?
She tries her very best to remain cautious, but this only serves to further ignite Jake's determination to 'conquer' her. He will never accept defeat, and he won't stop until she gets on his list, even as things start to get unusual...
What is the true story behind the mysterious freak? Will Jake risk everything for his ego? Could Pepsi be the one to finally change him?
The infamous bad boy is about to uncover the truth, and it won't be a smooth journey for sure.
"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal."
"But-"
"I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. "
"But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it.
------------------------
She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses.
It's only when she realises he may not be such a terrible man after all that she doubts her ability to win.
But what if the one thing she put on the line is the one thing she would die trying to protect? Will she allow a relationship to blossom under pressure from her past?
