After Mia kisses rockstar Hunter Caldwell at her office New Year's Eve party, she assumes she's never going to see him again. But when a picture of their kiss shows up the tabloids the next day, they both have some big decisions to make. 

Mia's been searching for the opportunity to move on from being an advice columnist for her magazine, so she's excited when her boss offers her the chance to write what she pleases. The only catch is that she has to get enough dirty details to write an expose on Hunter Caldwell first.

Hunter has a crisis of his own. The press has labeled him a bad boy womanizer, which is starting to taint his band's image. Being seen kissing a random girl isn't helping that argument. Unless, of course, he does as his publicist asks and very publicly dates his new 'girlfriend'. 

Technically, Mia and Hunter haven't told each other any lies. But as they start to develop very real feelings for each other, they realize they haven't been telling each other the whole truth either.

23 parts Complete
I heard you're a player. So let's play a game. Let's sweet talk. Let's play fight. Let's talk 24/7. Let's tell each other good morning and good night every day. Let's take walks together. Let's give each other nicknames. Let's hang out with each others friends. Let's go on dates. Let's talk on the phone all night. Let's hold each other. Let's kiss and hug. And whoever falls in love first? Loses. If you asked anyone to describe Avery Harrison in three words, everyone would say; sarcastic, care-free, and stubborn. Everybody tends to love her, why? Because she's fun and always has something hilarious to say... Unless she doesn't like you of course, then you might call her; snide, sharp and bitchy. If you did the same with Hunter Matthews it would definitely be: hot, gorgeous, beautiful, and nearly everyone would miss the slight detail that he's a player. That one slight detail is the entire reason Avery hates him, he threw girls away like old tissues, why would she? But with one scheming best friend, they are both pushed into playing 'The Game' with a prize for whoever wins. They pretend to date and whoever falls, loses. The question is: who will lose, the girl against love or the player?l
