I text my best friend for a ride after my ex stole my car, leaving me stranded. I didn't expect her rock star brother to show up. ARIA. I thought the worst thing I'd face at the music festival would be the porta-potty. Turns out it was catching my boyfriend with his tongue shoved down someone else’s throat. So I did what any self-respecting, betrayed, emotionally wrecked girl would do. I threw my hot dogs at him.

I thought the worst thing I'd face at the music festival would be the porta-potty. Turns out it was catching my boyfriend with his tongue shoved down someone else’s throat. So I did what any self-respecting, betrayed, emotionally wrecked girl would do. I threw my hot dogs at him. Then he stole my car. So when I text my best friend that I was stranded, recently single, and covered in ketchup and mud I didn't expect her to send her rock star brother to pick me up at the scene of my emotional carnage. Deck Kingston himself, the tattooed heartthrob and PR liability for his music label shows up in a blacked-out SUV like my knight in shining leather and I hate it with every fiber of my being because he's also the man I never got over, but he ghosted me when he left Oak Valley to chase his rock star dreams. Before we even make it past the security gate, my emotional carnage turns into a scandal and now I’m fake-dating the man who broke my heart over a deacde ago. Can I fake date him without falling for him all over again? DECK. Charlotte asked me for one favor. Pick up her best friend and get her out of town. What she didn’t say was that Aria Harper would still look like sin and sound like home. She agrees to help me avoid a media fallout as repayment for picking her up off the side of the road and suddenly, I’m sharing bunks, PR friendly lies and late nights with the girl I never forgot. I’m not used to second chances. But if I get one with her, I won’t waste it. less
