The Unexpected Way of Falling in Love (Unexpected 1)

I've had a crush on my best friend's brother for years. Which wouldn't be a problem, if he wasn't such a cocky jerk.

Well, that is until my best friend decides she needs to teach her brother a lesson and take his cockiness down a notch. Her plan: I'll get Carter to fall in love with me and then break his heart. At first I'm not fully on board with her plan, not only because it seems cruel, but I also highly doubt Carter will fall in love with me.

But then Carter does something that pushes me over the edge and I decide to go through with it.
Not only does the plan work, but Carter ends up being different from the cocky jerk I thought he was. At least I think so.

But not everything is as it seems.

Carter has secrets too. Secrets that could ruin my life.

Suddenly, I'm not sure who's playing who anymore.

Please note: this is a romance suspense with a drop of mystery.
