Ashley Dryden-Jones is the best rugby player on the field—when I take a dare, I instantly regret it. I had no way of knowing he was a gentleman: an athlete, British, with no plans to stay in the States.

He makes me forget myself—bruises, 5 o’clock shadow, accent and all.

He makes me forget that I can’t crawl into bed with him at night—or get drunk and throw caution to the wind for once in my overly cautious life.

Because he’s my new roommate.

When I win a trip to Vegas, I need a plus one; he’s the strapping, strong, responsible choice. Besides—I've never been anywhere and he has.

He is the best friend I didn’t know I needed.

Ashley is one of the good ones—but I’m about to find out how bad this good boy can be.

It's easy to take one dare when you think it's harmless. One stupid bet leads to one unforgettable night.
