Erin has hated Van St. Claire since he killed her social life ten years ago.

Growing up together had been wonderful. Best friends since diapers, the two were inseparable until Van decided he wanted to climb the social ladder. A few teases and taunts were all it took for him to rise to the top, leaving Erin alone.

When her father died, Erin held out a tiny sliver of hope that Van might change. When he didn’t, she vowed never to speak of or even think of him again. She would graduate and move on to better times.

But recent events have made it impossible for her to avoid her childhood best friend. When she scores the coveted part of Juliet in the senior year play, she’s thrilled until she discovers Van will play Romeo.

There is no way she will land a kiss on that jerk … unless he can convince her he’s changed, and what she sees might not be all there is behind his teasing and smart remarks. When Van embarks on a mission to prove Erin won’t regret kissing him, they rediscover what it really means to be friends.
