I came from nothing and made something of myself. I’ve only ever loved two things. Cars and her. I took that passion and built an empire. Now I’m the CEO. The alpha. On top of the world. I’m not the carefree man she once knew. That was the problem with being one of the richest men in the world—everyone thinks they know me, but they only know what I want them to. I’m demanding. Arrogant. Controlling. My company thinks they can change me. Soften my image. Make me more appealing to the public. Little do they know, the woman they hired was my best friend’s little sister, and the last time I saw her... I broke her heart. You know how in college there’s that one guy everyone wants to be? That’s me. I’m the top dog. The number one. The big man on campus. Some say those things are solid wins. My new tutor would disagree. My title means nothing to her. My status lost on her. And now my mind? That sucker is stuck on her. She was told to make our sessions priority over all, to drop everything when I need her, and come to me. She does. But I don’t want to steal her time anymore. I want to earn it. If anyone can do that, it’s me. I’m Tobias Cruz, the king of the curveball. I don’t lose. Not the game, and surely not the girl. Little did I know, this girl has a secret...and it’s the dirtiest curve yet. ___ From USA TODAY & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Meagan Brandy comes an all-new standalone romance set in college about a hotshot pitcher and the girl who never saw coming. It's no secret that I hate Phineas Yates, but what most people don't know is that I have a very good reason why. One hot summer, he broke my heart in the worst way, and I promised myself then and there that I would never fall prey to the sinner of Pembroke Prep again. Even if it meant re-inventing myself into a girl I barely recognized. There is a fine line between duty and desire. I'm not just any girl, I'm a princess. When my family begs me to get engaged to save the family name, I'm trapped with no way out. In a panic, I blurt out the ultimate lie and create myself a fake boyfriend. Which means I need someone to foot the bill immediately. The problem? The only person willing to help me is the one person I never want to see again: the careless, heartless, hot-as-Hellfire playboy himself. Phineas Yates. The even bigger problem? His help doesn't come for free. And this sinner won't be satisfied with anything less than my absolute ruin.
