Everyone knows me as Whitley High’s resident man-hater. It wasn’t my idea, don’t look at me, but after one or two well-publicized incidents, I got stuck with that nickname. Instead of whining about it, I’ve embraced my reputation. It’s just my bad luck that I walk right into a bet between my older brother and his best friend. My brother says Ryan can’t make any girl fall for him while Ryan says he can. Guess what? I’m the girl here. Ryan Henderson is everything I don’t like. Flashy, superficial, the whole works. Okay, maybe he’s a little more charming than I expected. And that smile is something too. But I don’t have a choice. Our high school is breathlessly watching this drama play out, and I need to uphold my reputation. I also need to take my brother’s side. Four months of this stupid bet, and I’ve got this in the bag. There just might be one slight problem. What if I don’t want to win after all?
