Prologue
Love is one of the most powerful things in the world. It is one of the most meaning feelings in the world. For most people, their idea of an American dream is having a good job, kids, and wife who you're madly in love with. Love means so much to people that they'll change their lifestyles, personalities, and even appearances to have their feelings reciprocated.
Love is what makes people think that you can really find the one. It makes us believe in magical beings such as Cupid. There's even a special day reserved for love, Valentines day. A lot of people believe in finding their soulmate or the one, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
There are people, who don't believe in love, that could just be their choice. There are even people that think that love is just a made up feeling that brainwashes people into thinking they want to be a relationship. Monogamy could mean the world to someone and mean nothing to another.
For Toby Cavnaugh, love was a joke, a lie, and a scam. He vowed to himself that he'd never let himself- or even think about-falling in love. Love was a word that made Toby laugh if he heard it. He knew that he would never ever fall in love.
But what if all that changed? What if he couldn't help it and he fell in love with a girl that captivated his heart and saw past his heartless exterior? All it takes is three friends, one girl, and a bet. Somewhere along the way, Toby finds himself realizing that he's not only betting on this game, but he was betting on his heart.
