Alexandria Asher just wants to live a normal life.
Bad enough her parents were arrested for embezzlement. Or adjusting to being broke after living rich her entire life. The last thing she can handle is gossip.
The obvious answer? She enrolls in college under her mother’s maiden name and tries her best to pretend she’s someone else.
Tristan Prescott is everything Alex is trying to avoid.
He’s an egotistical, lazy, rich jerk, and he deserved every drop of the beer she dumped on his head for coming on to her at a party.
But it only spurred Tristan into action. He loves nothing more than a challenge. And the beautiful Alex is exactly the type of challenge that intrigues him.
Despite her reluctance, Alex finds herself falling for Tristan.
Underneath that playboy exterior is a sweet and sexy normal guy. The kind of guy who makes her feel like she didn’t really lose anything by coming here. But when family secrets come to light, threatening to rip them apart, can Alex convince the player to stay?
