But is he just trying to vex his ex--who hates Monica with a fiery passion--or are his hot moves (such as saving Monica from humiliation from her ex-boyfriend) the workings of a boy in love? His sexy stare has Monica breathless, since his eyes look full of longing. But Monica's heart is just now healing. Can she really trust her wounded heart in the hands of a hot boy?This book is told in two parts. (They are both in this book.) The other part of the story is about Monica's friend, Jane Air, who has caught the gorgeous eye of handsome, brooding, mysterious Hunter Rochester--the boy that broke Jane's heart. Eek!

Dylan steps in front of me, blocking my way. “Okay, spill. What’s the deal with you and Football-Guy?”Confession: Dylan isn’t only my best friend, he’s also (secretly) my heart’s desire. So, having him so close—with his eyes glued on me like they are—Mmm, I’m having a little trouble concentrating. And breathing. I tear my eyes away from his to scan the empty school hallway—and, yano, breathe. Then in a low voice I explain “The Arrangement” I had to make with Mackay.Dylan frowns, “That’s messed up.”His unhappy expression derangedly makes my heart flicker with deranged happiness, so I lie a little. Maybe. I tell him, “But Dylan, it’s not like you think. I think I might actually like him—maybe. And we’ve barely kissed, so it’s not as sleazy as it sounds, obviously. He just wants—well, no strings. He even said I can see other guys.”Dylan scratches his chin, narrowing his eyes. “And you’re okay with that?”I shrug, though I have a demented plan forming in my demented brain. Poor Dylan, he’s so nice he might actually go along with it.Though I’m overcome with guilt, I lie to him anyway (hey, a demented girl has got to do what a demented girl’s gotta do), “I was thinking maybe I could get Mackay to re-think the no-strings thing. I was thinking maybe I should get him jealous.” I peek at Dylan. “By fake-dating another boy.”Dylan says with a playful smile, “Hey, I’m a boy.” “No,” I mock gasp, “Really?”“I am, I swear. Ask my many girlfriends.”“You’ve had like, two.”“But many times.”“True.”I sigh. “But it would be too weird,” I tell him, acting like I think it might be a bad idea. “I mean, I was thinking of trying to make it look real. So, you’d have to, uh … kiss me and stuff.”Dylan wiggles his eyebrows. “What’s the ‘and stuff?’”“Okay, well—no ‘and stuff.’ But you’d have to kiss me and act in love with me.”Dylan smirks. “Twist my arm.”“No, I mean it.”“Me too. I can act in love with you. I love you, Emery.”Awww. Sprarky tingles wash through me.I clear my throat, trying to come back down to the real world. “But I mean, you know—‘into me’ kind of love.”Dylan grins. “Well, we’re gonna kiss, so.”He says it so matter-of-factly. Yet just thinking about it has me about to burst into confetti and rainbows. But he sounds totally onboard to do it, so though I feel a little guilty tricking him; yeah—confetti and rainbows are filling my heart.Dylan grins about my ‘into me’ appearance dilemma, like I’m a little kid—or slow, though he’s just playing around. “When I kiss you, it will most likely seem I’m into you.” He looks me in the eye and tells me mock confidential-like, “Emery, that’s why most people kiss.”He says it total deadpan, like he’s bestowing pearls of grown-up wisdom to a small child.I do a groan, like I’m torn by wanting Mackay so bad I’ll do anything, yet at the same time worried that it will be too weird with him—Dylan—the guy I’ve been in the “Friend Zone” with my entire life.But secretly I’m hoping: Maybe this will finally get me out of the friend-zone. *Another excerpt from the book:Right before I put the note into Dylan’s locker, I freeze. What am I doing? He has a girlfriend. You don’t write love-letters to other girl’s boyfriends. Even if the boy is your best friend that you’ve known forever. Even if you love the boy with all your heart.Determined, I whirl away from Dylan’s locker without putting the note inside. But whoa! As I whip around—there’s Dylan. Watching me.He juts his chin. “What’s with the note?”I stuff it in my pocket. “Uh, nothing. Homework. Ready for lunch?”**Standalone teen romance novelNo swearingBy Melanie Marks, author of His Kiss; and The Boyfriend ContractMelanie Marks newest books:*Ew, I Like You*The Boyfriend Contract*She’s Not Mine … But I Want Her*Blackmailed Kisses*Promises To PatrickThey are all standalone stories; each only a buck right now.

Back in middle school, she gave me a cookie. No other girl had given me a cookie before. Hickeys, phone numbers, semi-dirty messages—those were the kinds of things I was used to getting from girls. It intrigued me, the home-baked cookie thing. We’re not in middle school anymore … but she still gives me cookies. (“Anonymously” … she thinks.)I had to trick her into kissing me. But she wanted to do it, I could tell. Pretty much. She just didn’t “want” to want to do it. Maybe because she had a boyfriend … and I was known at our school as a “heartbreaker.” Or so I heard.
