Meet Jade Cross, NYC's infamous heartbreaker... the very same one who seamlessly crushed the guy known as "The Legendary Player" 's heart into tiny pieces. However, at the end of the day one's actions have consequences, and this heartbreak may or may not have sparked a change in her emotionless character.
Such is her allure and her notorious ways, that she is known as the Black Widow, for she toys with guys at her will and once she's had her fun, she leaves them for dead... but not before planting a red kiss in the corner of their lips - her trademark.
Enter Jesse Saunders, an average-looking and at times painfully awkward guy. He's not even close to being her type, but a weird situation forces them to cross paths, and she's not one to turn down some good fun. Or at least fun is what she thinks it would be, but ultimately she has no idea what she is getting herself into.
Mix these two extremely different creatures together, sit back and watch how they drive each other nuts.
But the question remains, will he be enough to make her call it quits on the game? Or will she destroy this naive kid's heart just as frivolously as she's done to every other guy she's ever crossed paths with?

"Oh, don't take it personal, you are attractive," I told him. "In an awkward, I'm-your-best-friend's-little brother, kind of way."
Jesse blinked once and gave me a -seriously?- look, which I ignored.
"But I'm afraid that's not what I'm into, so you're safe." I paused for dramatic effect and smirked. "For now."
His head snapped up to look at me.
"Kidding."
