Lose a Girl in 10 Periods

Cassian Holt has perfected the art of performance—on the ice as his hockey team’s star captain, and off it as a sociology major determined to prove he’s more than a stereotype. When his demanding professor assigns a project on “uncomfortable” participatory research, Cassian designs the ultimate experiment: approach Delphine Carter, the brilliant philosophy major who fascinates him, using ten classic “player” tactics while documenting her reactions. It's the perfect excuse to talk to the one girl who sees through everyone. But Delphine isn’t like anyone Cassian has ever met. Still recovering from grief and a manipulative past, she challenges him, disarms him, and refuses to be impressed by charm or strategy. And somewhere between the rehearsed lines and intentional gestures, Cassian starts losing track of what’s real and what’s part of the assignment. His field notes turn into confessions. His tactics stop feeling like tactics. And the experiment he once controlled starts pulling him into emotions he never planned for. Now Cassian must face the truth he didn’t expect: He went looking for data. He found the one person who makes him want to be genuine. But learning how to be honest—truly honest—might be the hardest research of all.
