A rebound isn't supposed to last. Though, sometimes, fate has other ideas in this opposites attract, friends with benefits romance.

It wasn't supposed to happen this way.

I started planning my future at the age of six. I knew the college I wanted, the career I needed, and the boy I would marry.

Only he wasn't supposed to break up with me in such a spectacular fashion. Now, I'm tossing my planner and breaking my rules.

First up: Pacey Ziglar.

I want one night of fun. One night to toss out all inhibitions with the sexy Brit across the hall. Too bad I fell for my rebound along the way.

I never meant to say yes.

I know exactly what Mackenzie Thomas wants when she asks me out on a date. She won't be my first no-strings-attached relationship, and if things work out the way we both want, she won't be my last.

Yet the more I get to know her, the more I want her. But she's not looking for me to be her forever.

And when my family secrets threaten our future, I'm afraid forever might end far too soon.
