From Farah Heron, the critically acclaimed author of adult rom-com Accidentally Engaged, comes a story about a goody-two-shoes teen who concocts a brilliant plan to fake-date the local bad boy to rebel against her mom.

Meera Noorani has spent her whole life playing it safe.

Raised by her single mom, she's had to--especially in love. After all, it has been proven, generation after generation, that all Noorani women are cursed to have partners who ruin their lives.

And though she tried her best to avoid it, Meera's fate comes a-calling, and within the span of a week, she's broken up with, arrested, and then shipped to small-town Canada, where she'll be completing her community service under the watchful eye of her mom and her new stepdad.

Meera's spent her whole life being good, and this is the thanks she gets?

If she can pose a threat to Mom's perfect new life, though, maybe she can get back to the city. And there's no better way to do that than date one of her fellow teen delinquents. Noah has got the piercings, tattoos, and rumors to prove that he's the town's most infamous bad boy...but when the bad boy isn't actually bad, what's a girl meant to do?
