But as graduation looms, everything and everyone starts deviating from Eddy's master script. Never in a million years did he expect to be facing off again with the unapproachable, perfect Lucinda Dulko. For once in his life, he's not in control--and to be with Lucinda, he's willing to get swept up in the game. But what happens to a player when the rules suddenly change?
Can Eddy find a way to win it all?
