The rules are clear€"until they€re broken. The first book in Lauren Layne€s Redemption series gives a classic love story its edgiest twist yet.
€œWho knew that pretending you€re not falling for someone would be so much more difficult than pretending that you are?€Â
Stephanie Kendrick gave up her whole summer to ace her NYU film school screenwriting course, so she€s pissed to be stuck with a preppy, spoiled frat boy as her writing partner. Then again, with her piercings, black-rimmed eyes, and Goth wardrobe, Stephanie isn€t exactly Ethan Price€s type, either. He€s probably got his eye on some leggy blonde with a trust fund . . . or does he?
As the summer scene kicks off in the Hamptons, Ethan is desperate to make his snobbish mother forget the pedigreed girl who broke his heart. While Stephanie€s a stretch as a decoy, the right makeover and a pastel cardigan just might do the trick. She may not love the idea of playing Ethan€s brainless Barbie girlfriend, but the free rent and luxurious digs make a tempting offer. So does the promise of a ready-made screenplay idea inspired by their charade.
But when Stephanie steps into Ethan€s privileged world, the €œacting€ begins to feel all too real. The kissing and touching that were intended to fool the Hamptons crowd wind up manipulating them. And Stephanie faces a question she€s too afraid to ask: Is Ethan falling for the real her or for the dolled-up princess he wants to see?
