Beyond The Playboy's Mask | Tearsilyne

Josiah Loveighn Hanks is every woman's dream: handsome, intelligent, and wealthy. As a fourth-year Civil Engineering student at USC, he's a campus heartthrob, admired by all and envied by many. Behind his perfect exterior, however, lies a notorious playboy hiding from the weight of fame and fortune. He's carefree, charming, and used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to the women who fall at his feet. But all of that is about to change.

Neyla Fe Reyes, a third-year Interior Design student, couldn't be more different. Quiet, intelligent, and content with her low-profile life, she has no desire to be part of the campus drama. She's focused on her studies, blending into the background like any other student-until the fateful moment she almost becomes a casualty of Josiah's recklessness.

When he nearly hits her with his car, the two exchange heated words, an encounter that's witnessed by more than a few curious onlookers. To Neyla's dismay, what she thought would be a fleeting moment soon spirals into chaos, as her once peaceful college life is turned upside down.
Josiah, accustomed to women falling at his feet, is shocked when Neyla does not swoon over him. Instead, she delivers a sharp slap to his ego-an act that ignites his need for revenge. But Josiah soon realizes that getting back at Neyla is not as easy as he thought, and the deeper he gets into his plan, the more he risks losing everything he never realized he cared about.

In this battle of wills, will Josiah's pursuit of revenge lead him to a broken heart? Or could it lead to something entirely unexpected?

"One more punch, woman and you'll scream my name in bed."
