Books like Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren
Hanna Bergstrom is a bombshell bookworm whose overprotective brother warns her that she’s neglecting her social life by burying herself in graduate school. Determined to fulfill his implied challenge, Hanna was hit with the prospect of stepping out, making friends, and opening herself to romance. Right in her path appears Will Sumner – the gorgeous best friend of her brother, an unapologetic playboy and venture capitalist. Will, a risk‑taker by nature, sees Hanna’s assignment with skepticism – until a wildly seductive hit‑and‑run night, in which Hanna charms him into bed, turns the tables on him and makes him feel the pull of a new kind of connection. Now that Hanna discovers her own sexual power, Will must prove that he’s the only man she’ll ever need.
