College wasn't supposed to be this messy. Between crowded dorm halls, late-night kickbacks, and everybody in everybody's business, friendships turn into situationships real quick. The ones you swore you couldn't stand start looking different when it's 3 a.m. and you're the only two still talking, and the quiet ones end up being the ones who see you the clearest. Love, drama, and loyalty all get tested, and it's in those late-night talks and unspoken looks that the real story of campus life gets written.

When circumstances force them together-him needing her brain and discipline to clean up his business moves, her needing his protection after a brush with street danger-the forbidden attraction between them sparks into a full-blown, undeniable passion.
