Entangled Teen: Crush
Summary from Goodreads:
Sometimes, blackmail is the only weapon a girl has…
Haley Patterson has had a crush on golden boy Bryce Colton for ages. But then when she hears a rumor—Bryce is telling everyone that he hooked up with her. With Haley’s reputation taking a nosedive, she gives Bryce him a choice: be her boyfriend for a month for a month or face the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up withto show other guys that she’s dateable—despite her overprotective and very intimidating brothers.—or deal with the angry, cage-fighting boyfriend of the girl he actually did hook up with.
Bryce didn’t know the other Haley even had a boyfriend. He was just trying to get his ex off his back. And now doesn't know what's more unbelievable, not only is—that he's he being blackmailed, or that he's being blackmailed by an honor student. His little “hook up” was supposed to end his problems with girls, not create new ones. Not only that, but his new “girlfriend” has two overprotective brothers, three-legged dogs, her father mows grass at the country club, and she's…well, difficult. And different.
Besides, everyone knows that perfect boys never fall for imperfect girls…Sometimes, giving in is all a boy can do…Can something so fake turn into something real?

Excerpt:
“Get
away from my boyfriend,” a girl called out from behind us.
I
froze. “Is she talking to me?”
Bryce
ran his hand down his face. “Welcome to my nightmare.”
Good
to know I ranked somewhere above nightmare status. Maybe I was only a mild pain
in the ass.
Bryce
placed his arm around my shoulders, and we turned in unison.
A
tall blonde with giant boobs, bright red nails, and crazy coming off her in
waves, walked up to us. “Bryce, what are you doing?”
He
pulled me closer, as if to make a point. “Brittney, I broke up with you.
Remember?”
“You
didn’t mean that.” She twisted a lock of hair around her finger and smiled. “We’re
so good together.”
Bryce
sighed. “Brittney, we talked about this.”
“Don’t
you miss me?” She moved closer and whispered, “Just a little bit?”
And
suddenly this was all sorts of awkward.
“I’m
sorry, but we’re through. I’m dating Haley.”
Brittney
sniffled and blinked her eyes quickly like she was trying to cry. “We were
meant to be. You’ll figure that out soon enough.” She turned on her heel and
strode off.
“What
was that about?” I asked.
He
dropped his arm from my shoulders and stepped back. “I broke up with Brittney
three times this month.” He held up three fingers as if I might be unfamiliar
with the number. “It didn’t take. Every morning she acted like we were still
together. She started talking about where we should have our destination
wedding and what we should name our kids. I tried being nice. I tried being
mean. Nothing worked. Finally, I went for drastic measures. I figured once she
heard about my weekend hookup, she’d take the hint and move on.”
This
threw a new light on Bryce’s weekend activities. “So you’re not a man-whore?”
“Oh,
no. He is,” Nathan answered with a serious face.
I
laughed and headed into Physics lab to catch Jane up on the latest chapter in
my new reality-TV-worthy life. “You came into the room way too early.” I told
her about Brittney and my secret hope that Bryce wasn’t strictly a hit-and-run
kind of guy.
“I
think you might be giving him too much credit,” she said.
Since
this was my fake relationship, I chose to believe my smoking-hot pretend
boyfriend was not a man-whore. Hey, it was my delusional world. Why not go for
broke?
