Finding my best friend is my one and only mission. I thought maybe she’d been kidnapped, hurt, lost – I never imagined time travel. When I slide into a prehistoric lagoon, I know she must be here. Somewhere.

I never intended on time travelling to the Stone Age during my Special Ops mission - but it’s not the first thing in my life to get effed up. To say I didn’t have a happy childhood is an understatement - that’s why I joined the military first chance I got. And to be honest - living alone on the beach isn’t the worst way to live out my days.

I convinced New York's cockiest, crankiest, hottest chef to take my virginity. Three months later, I have to step back into his life . . . telling him I'm pregnant with his baby. It was supposed to be a rebellious one-night-stand. But that's what happens, doesn't it? You get drunk, see your hot crush at the same bar, and you let him take you home. And sleep with him. Hard. Multiple times in one night.

After high school, three things mattered to me: my sister Sevenya, my drum kit, and my surfboard. With Sevenya in the passenger seat, we hightailed it to Los Angeles so I could chase my rock 'n' roll dreams. But I left a part of my heart on the beach. Just as the Blind Rebels were gaining popularity, I suffered a crushing loss. One I didn't think I'd ever recover from. I tried running to the ocean for solace, only for an accident to turn it against me.

When I accepted the offer to work on a movie set, I had no idea I was agreeing to be the lead actor's fake girlfriend. If I'd known, there's no way I would've played along. Not after what he did to me. To everyone else, Ian Brock is a Hollywood star. The life of the party. The guy next door with a smile to melt ice cream. To me, he's the ex who broke my heart. But the years have done nothing to ruin how good-looking, charming, or funny he is. And the more we pretend to be a couple, the more obvious it becomes that our chemistry is back.
