Will has everything he could ask for. He's the captain of the swimming team in the most exclusive school in the country and he's got a crowd of friends and family cheering him at every step. But there's still something keeping him awake at night. Although he is extremely privileged, something is missing. Or rather, someone.
Red lipstick on pretty smiles, black eyelashes that bat over mint green eyes, glossy hair and a silky voice. In his eyes, Vanessa is the most beautiful woman ever to walk the earth. But she doesn't need a man, and Will's attempts at wooing her aren't getting him anywhere.
Enter McKenzie. Vanessa's childhood friend is not someone Will would befriend. She doesn't take life too seriously and he can't make sense of her. He soon realizes that she's more trouble than help in his quest to make Vanessa fall in love with him.
His goal? Get McKenzie out of the equation and seduce Vanessa into his loving arms. He's yet to find out that the task might not be as easy as he thinks.
