He’s the biggest player of them all.They shouldn’t be together. But this summer’s just too tempting.Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti’s goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother’s best friend—Nick Grawsky—ever existed.

As long as she doesn’t get stuck believing in happily ever after…Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let’s-have-fun guy.

Besides, he’s not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don’t expect much, for girls he doesn’t want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he’s not sure he wants to…At least for this summer.It’s going to be a summer like no other. Companion novella of ONE, TWO, THREE
