Play to win.

Alyson Benowitz is a romantic, and sometimes that gets her into trouble-like when she falls for boys who aren't into her. But this time it's different. Her connection with Brenton Riggs Jr., a star athlete at her elite prep school, isn't just in her head. She's swept up in her first real relationship.

Then she hears the rumors about a competition the Sullivan-Stewart guys started to see who can get with the most girls. It's deeply disturbing . . . if it's true. Is Brenton with Alyson for the right reasons-or is he trying to win some gross game?

And when the girls at school take matters into their own hands, things take an unsettling turn. Lies, secrets, backstabbing . . . when push comes to shove, who'll be left standing?
