The Friend Zoneis an exquisite, delicious cupcake of a book. You will gobble it down and hunger for more.SARINA BOWEN,New York Timesbestselling author

They started as strangers texting
The last thing star tight end Gray Grayson wants to do is drive his agents daughters hot-pink car. But he needs the wheels and shes studying abroad.

Unknown: Mr. Grayson, my father tells me he lent you my car. I dont care if hes going to sign you or not. As said agents daughter, I know football players&their ways. So let me be clear. There will be no shenanigans taking place in it or youll answer to me. You want to hook up with someone, do it in a bed and not in my car. Sincerely, Ivy Mackenzie

GrayG:Hey, Miss Mac. You do realize your car is a bubblegum-pink Fiat, right? Even if I could get it up surrounded by all that heinous pink, the car is better suited for Lilliputians. So dont worry, there will be no shenanigans (Shenanigans?Srsly? What are we,80?) anywhere near the car. Im not about to pull a hamstring in the pursuit of pleasure.BTWbeds are overrated. Branch out a little.

Soon became best-texting buddies
Gray Grayson drives Ivynuts. Hes irreverent, sex on a stick andcompletelyoff-limits. Because Ivy has one golden rule: never get involved with one of her fathers clients.

But when they finally meet in person, everything goes haywire.Game on.
