Especially not Kyle Indigo, the school's well-known woman-stealer and all around sex addict. But more importantly, jocks don't get feelings for skinny blonde guys like Jameson Williams who holds secrets and has a love for one special sport, right? It just doesn't work like that. Or does it?

(bxb) Survival tip #1: Don't strangle your snowed-in roommate. Easier said than done for Miles Thompson, a college senior who just wants to cruise through his final semester with a little fun and as few complications as possible. But when a freak blizzard traps him in Logan Arver's freezing apartment---with no heating, one uselessly thin blanket, and the most irritating guy on campus---simple is officially off the table. Logan is smug, infuriatingly calm, and way too good at getting under Miles' skin. Miles is short-tempered, sleep-deprived, and absolutely not interested in making new friends. But with the snow piling up, the power on the verge of cutting out, and nowhere else to go, they're forced to navigate more than just the storm together, long after it ends.

Ozzy Schroeder moves from a big city in the Midwest to a small town on the California coast. Everything about his life is different, filled with people he barely understands. Country kids with big trucks and bigger belt buckles. Rich kids who drive expensive hybrids and only eat organic. Local kids whose families have lived near the Pacific for generations. And of course, Ozzy meets someone who changes everything.

Jake Taylor is a simple guy of simple pleasures. Family-focused and happy to help, he's proud of his little community in Gunner, East Tennessee. A good son, a dedicated brother, a loyal friend, and an honest man - that's all he strives to be. Ray Cooper can't wait to get out. Hungry for more and ready for freedom, he works hard and keeps to himself while maintaining the eye on the goal - move out and disappear. Any ties he has to Gunner are nothing but reminders of how the world is stacked against him. Ray and Jake don't so much crash into each other's lives as they slowly ease in. But their plans for how the rest of their lives look like don't match, and Ray's past is an ever-looming threat. They shouldn't make sense together, but maybe they do. So what now?
