19 parts Complete MatureQuinn Maxwell despises Rudy "The Rocket" Valentino. A star quarterback, a walking trophy case, and a notorious womanizer-he's everything she loathes about campus entitlement. So when her bitter, broken-hearted roommate offers Quinn a desperate challenge-a cruel bet to make Rudy fall in love with her and then publicly dump him-Quinn can't say no. It's the perfect scheme to take the campus "king" down a peg.
Rudy is supposed to be the arrogant, un-tameable playboy who thinks with his ego. The plan is simple: target, charm, and destroy.
But the moment Quinn is forced to spend time with him, her well-laid plans fumble. The man she expected is an illusion. Rudy is patient, a selfless older brother, a genuine gentleman, and carries a quiet heartache that belies his ruthless reputation. He sees past Quinn's sarcasm and challenge, and his unexpected vulnerability cracks her icy exterior.
The problem? As Rudy begins to truly fall for Quinn-making grand, heart-stopping gestures and proving that he cancommit-Quinn's genuine feelings are rising to meet his. Her initial disgust has melted into a terrifying, undeniable love.
She now knows the truth: She started the bet to break him, but she's the one who will be destroyed by it.
Just as Quinn is ready to confess the entire, humiliating truth and beg for his forgiveness, the dark secret is ripped from her control. It's exposed to the whole university, landing on Rudy with the force of a full-contact tackle.
Now, Rudy isn't just heartbroken; he's publicly humiliated and believes every sweet word and stolen kiss was a calculated lie. Quinn is left fighting not just for his love, but for a belief that the man she truly became during the bet deserves a second chance with the man she truly loves.
Can a love born from a lie survive a truth this cruel?
