He’s the college bad boy trying to change gears...

When Donovan, basketball star and notorious heartthrob of the Campus Drivers, realises the damage his womanising behaviour has caused, he decides to become the perfect boyfriend. And who better to coach him than romance-obsessed, all-around good girl, Carrie?

… but she’s never believed in the Reformed Player trope.

Carrie wants nothing to do with Donovan. She’d much rather lose herself in the heroes from her romance novels. They’re uncomplicated and drama-free, just the way she likes it. Plus, she's never liked the 'reformed player' trope anyway.

If Donovan wants her help, he’ll have to endure a tough, no-nonsense crash course in romance. But one can't just become a romance hero overnight – especially when reality refuses to stick to the script.

Pick this up if you love: reformed playboy, he falls first / she falls harder, opposites attract, tutor / student relationship, sports romance.
