Lexi I’ve been in love with Ryder Jackson since my twin sister brought him home and declared him her best friend five years ago. He is funny, smart, gorgeous. The perfect man. Except he’s never shown any romantic interest in me. Ryder only does hookups, but my poor demi heart wants the whole package. I vow to get over him and focus on my upcoming cheer competition, but suddenly, he’s everywhere, making me fall harder. When he accidentally walks in on my self-love time, everything changes. One night with Ryder isn’t enough. I know it’ll hurt when it ends, but if friends with benefits is all Ryder can give, I’ll take it. Ryder No boyfriends, no repeats. That’s always been my motto. But when I nearly get my ass handed to me by the disgruntled ex of a former hookup, I realize I need to change things up. No sex until I learn to avoid the walking red flags. I can do this. Except, suddenly, all I can see is Lexi, my best friend’s brother. I’m creating situations to get cuddles from him during nineties movie night and even going to a football game just to watch him cheer. After one hot night, I want more. But how do I get Lexi to see me as more than just a hookup?
