Learning to Fall

"Go out with a stereotypical romance novel hero WHO ISN'T YOUR TYPE." Avid reader and art student Steph is participating in a monthly blog challenge to Live Like Fiction, and this was the task for October. When Grayson, former co-captain of her university rugby team, walks into her class, she knows it's meant to be - she has to go out with this guy. Even if she's never been attracted to big, hunky, athletic types. With Grayson's "player" reputation off the field, Steph thinks he'll be good for one date that'll be worth blogging about, and that's it. But you know how it goes: Soon, it becomes more than just one date - and Steph and Grayson are caught up in "living like fiction." How long can they keep playing their roles before reality steps in?
