Who knew one month pretending to be an interesting bad girl could ruin a boring good girl's life? When I saw her, I knew she'd be mine. My old biker crew told me she was untouchable—that I'd never be able to land her without my fame and last name. So I did what any rock star with a big, ahem, ego would under the circumstances—wagered five figures on me seducing the untouchable girl behind the bar.

All right, all right, I’ll admit I’ve always been a player in more ways than one. What can I say?
