Avery
Applying to be a contestant on a reality dating show is the last thing I ever thought I would do…Well, aside from actually being on a reality dating show, that is. But here I am on Heart to Heart, hoping to come in second place.

Yes, second place.

I know how crazy that sounds, especially since this season’s love interest is none other than Tristan Tate, the former Sexiest Action Star Alive, and my teenage crush.

Oh, who am I kidding? He’s my today crush, too.

But I can’t think of Tristan or how his lips or his rock-hard body would feel pressed against mine. Not when my parents are in dire financial straits and the prize money awarded to the runner-up would solve all their problems.

Besides, it’s not like I have a chance with Tristan anyway. Or do I?

Tristan

One night of stupidity left my career in shambles, but with my new agent at the helm, I’m ready for a comeback. I just have to get through this reality television gig, win viewers over, and not fall for any of the contestants. If I can manage that, I’ll have my career back, provided a wrench doesn’t get thrown into the whole thing.

Enter Avery Martin: the wrench. Avery stumbled into my life, quite literally, and I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind since then.

And that’s a huge problem.

Because the more time I spend with Avery, the more I’m second-guessing everything I thought I wanted, and the harder it is to keep my hands off her.
