London: Of all the guys in the world, I just had to fall hopelessly and irreparably in love with my twin sister's boyfriend.
Gabriel is also a dork, but he's a hot as all hell dork. But he's straight. He shouldn't attract me the way he does. And did I mention they've been dating for two years?
And when my genius of a sister comes up with a bulletproof plan to help me pass my exams by convincing Gabriel to tutor me, I discover that my big, beautiful dork hides a secret even more ruinous than my own. The way he looks at me when we're alone is almost all I've ever dreamed of.
Gabriel I'm a hot mess and he's off limits. We are a disaster in the making. I can't say no to tutoring London. It would look like I'm hiding something, which I'm totally not.
He crawls under my skin before I know it. He fills my mind with his rosy lips, high cheekbones, and sculped muscles. His male muscles, which I totally don't like.
Except, when I'm alone, letting him into my thoughts is a comfort I desperately need. The more I'm with him, the more I see I might be dating the wrong twin. There's no happy ending for anyone here. Unless I own up to the truth: London is all I ever wanted.

Caleb: Nobody ever looks past the mask I wear. Not until I meet Jayden Harris, the adorably bossy scholarship student with a razor-sharp focus and an unbreakable determination to be the best of us all.
He says he doesn't have time for dating. He says I'm just a player. If I could prove to him that I'm worth falling in love with, he might change his mind. But asking him to be my fake boyfriend for a massive family gathering probably wasn't my greatest idea.
We're a lost cause, but I just can't let him go.
Jayden: It was just a one-time thing. And then a two-time thing. And a three-time thing. Before I know it, I'm in his fancy car, heading to the Wine Country for an extended weekend. My mission? Be the loving boyfriend you bring home to meet the parents.
I'm risking my scholarship and my future at the elite Highgate Academy for a charming stranger in need of a boyfriend. Why? I wish I could tell you. But there's more to him than I imagined.
I'm doing my best to convince everyone that we're a couple. But maybe I'd be wise to remind myself that we are not.

Mateo: My life is nothing like a fairytale. Weighed down by duty and constantly watched, I hope to find a little freedom at Highgate. Nobody knows who I really am; the Andalonian Heir Apparent. Not even the embarrassingly handsome Joshua Sterling. He makes falling in love effortless. He makes me believe in fairytales.
With every lie I speak, I bury myself deeper. Whenever I miss a chance to tell him who I am, I lose him more. And when I love him the most, a disaster strikes.
Joshua: Trailed by his bodyguards and deliciously strange, Mateo Garcia is like nobody I've ever crossed paths with. I've crossed paths with plenty of hot guys. Not a single one of them looked past what I was ready to show. Not like Mateo.
But when he touches my wildest desires and the promise of a little happiness is too sweet to resist, I discover that he's nothing like what he said. He is a prince suffocated by tradition and expectations. And what does that make me? A rebellious experiment and a college flame.
Maybe I'm better off living the way I used to. Maybe a pretty face and a hot body is all I'm worth. But his departure rips a hole in my chest that no amount of hookups could fill.

Dallas: Kai's nothing like I expected. The scrawny kid I once knew is gone, replaced by a nerdy, curious young man who crawls deep under my skin. The moment he enters my life, he disrupts everything. I shouldn't want my best friend's little brother. But I've never been great at resisting temptation.
What starts as messing around in secret, soon becomes a lot more serious. I'm gambling my friendship and risking more than I should. But I'm falling, and I'm falling hard.
Kai: I've had a crush on Dallas since I was old enough to crush. He's my oldest fantasy; he's also an obnoxious, insufferable, smug jock with the stupidest adorable dimples and a gorgeous . . . Uh . . . Where was I? Oh right, he never noticed me except when I was the punchline of his jokes.
He's also the very definition of a guy I shouldn't want. But Dallas and I have an agreement: no strings attached. That way, we get to have fun and nobody needs to know. No harm done, right?
Now I'm falling for him faster and harder than ever despite knowing what's at stake. The only way this ends is with a lost friendship and a broken heart. It's too late anyway. I'm in free fall already.

Miles: Studies astrophysics? Check. Loves Star Wars? Check. Still a virgin at twenty-one with zero experience in real life? Double-check.
I didn't want any fanfare around my twenty-first birthday. But when a series of unfortunate accidents confirming Ramsey's rules of randomness takes place right in front of my eyes, I find myself dancing with the hottest, most popular jock on campus.
Liam makes me feel special. He makes this night one to remember. He becomes the very first boy I ever kissed. Except it's all a charade. He's just making his crazy ex-girlfriend crazier and I'm happy to play along. But when the door is closed and his ex isn't around to see us, are we still faking it?
Liam: Am I going through one helluva breakup? Yes I am. Am I coping with it by dancing with the first guy who accidentally pissed my ex off? You bet I am.
Hayley and I were supposed to spend our lives together. Well, that was the plan until she changed the plan. Oops, the nerd just kissed me; and you can bet your life I kissed him back. Now she knows what it feels like.
And I discover it feels way better than I expected.

Mason
I loved Leo from the moment I met him. But life gets busy when you grow up. Leo took good care of me, and now he needs someone to take care of him. I must step up and be that person. Except I can't do it alone.
Leo
I could carry everyone's worries on my shoulders but mine. In just a few days, my dad ruined our family and the only person I can lean on is Mason. He worries and cares and I love him endlessly, but our lives are messy with no signs of improvement. Can we endure this on our own or is the solution to all our problems right under my nose?
Quinn
I never meant to fall in love. That's just not what I do. But Mason and Leo could use some help and who better to help them but their best friend? The more I'm with them, the more I realize I'm going down a dangerous road. Of millions of possible outcomes, all are bad but one. Do we even stand a chance?

Troy: Of course I fell for a football jock. But Jackson and I are polar opposites. He's popular, confident, and as hot as hell in a tight T-shirt. Me? I'm just a scrawny, awkward nerd. Another point of difference: he's straight.
As if my crush on him isn't bad enough, Jackson is assigned to be my partner on a year-long project, and I have no choice but to spend time with the hottest guy on campus. Bummer. But the attraction is intensifying. We're on a collision course. I shouldn't be leaning in . . . I think I'm going to kiss him.
Jackson: Sweet. I got partnered up with the biggest nerd on campus. If I play my cards well, a passing grade is guaranteed. Troy's all shy and awkward; a classic nerd. But there's more to him than he's showing. And it's making me curious.
I want to see him come out of his shell. I know he would be better off if he let his guard down. I want to be his friend, but he thinks I'm just another dumb jock. Except, I see him looking at me the way I could never look at him.
Am I sending the wrong message? Is he falling for me? He's leaning in fast . . . He's about to kiss me. And I'm not even ducking.
