The Player You Know by Veronica Eden

The best way to practice hooking up? By agreeing to tutor South Bay's hottest surfer...if he'll coach me.

This semester will be different. It's part of my five year plan.

But one thing isn't following me to campus-my V-card.

The only problem? I'm clueless about relationships. While I focused on academics, everyone else aced a class I skipped.

So I devise an idea to conquer my lack of experience. Persuading someone to teach me.

I have the perfect tutor in mind: my brother's best friend.

Cooper Vale. Hometown heartthrob, sultry player, and my neighbor since we were kids.

Falling for him was never part of the plan.

But his lessons are nothing like I expect.

I'd never guess the hot surfer everyone wants is different behind his sculpted muscles and playboy reputation. He's sweet, attentive, and more focused on building my confidence lesson by seductive lesson than getting into my pants when I ask for his help.

He's so convincing I forget this is fake. Outside of our practices, he's out of my league...right?

Because there's no way Cooper feels the same, even if he's uttering how good I'm doing like a man obsessed every time he touches me.

I thought I was immune to his charms...

But the way I unravel whenever I'm with him threatens to break every rule we made to keep this casual.
