It's her game—but he's breaking all the rules: "A fast-paced delight . . . from a five-star new author" (Mary Monroe, New York Times–bestselling author of Over the Fence).

Faye isn't look for Mr. Right, and she certainly doesn't want any guy whispering to her promises he won't keep. It's simple, don't get attached, and you won't get hurt.

Carl knows, despite what Faye says, there's something more going on between them than just fleeting infatuation. In fact, he knows he's falling for her.

Told in alternating his-and-hers chapters and filled with emotion and humor, this "lively debut romantic novel . . . will likely capture the hearts of readers" (Publishers Weekly).
