Désiré Rivers has a lot on her plate, and the last thing she needs between piling family issues and sleep-deprived shifts at an off-campus coffee shop is a silly crush on fellow sociology major Sydney Miller. Especially not now that he's become her faculty's official favorite—and infamous—topic of interest.
Sydney Miller is tearing apart at the seams, and the last thing he needs between juggling his rapidly dwindling mental health and a demanding curriculum is lingering on the enticing promise of Désiré Rivers. The same Désiré who he almost kissed in a haze in his freshman year.
Despite knowing that accommodating thoughts about each other is inadvisable, neither of them can deny their unmistakable chemistry. So it comes as little surprise when, following unexpected news and an eventual feverish kiss at a party, Désiré reaches out to Sydney with what is probably her worst idea yet. An ill-advised hookup proposal.
