"He should never have hit you, but winding him up like that..." "Like what? Talking about being your partner, working with you, spending time with you. That's no fabrication, H. We are going to be spending a whole lot of time together this semester." His eyes fluttered as he spoke, while I laid the second plaster down across his skin. "Are we now? I thought a shared doc would suffice." "Please, and miss the chance to chew me out. Never." "You think I like arguing with you? I love arguing, full stop. It has nothing to do with you." ++++++ University isn't all partying and cutting class, at least not for Harper Marckes.

Love can appear in the most unexpected of ways. Like a pizza, for example. In order for Rayleigh Brooks to pay for her freshman year of college, she and her best friend move into an apartment with three new roommates, all of whom are sophomore guys she doesn't really know. Amidst the unanticipated chaos of moving in, meeting her roommates, school starting, and ultimately changing the rest of her life forever, Ray can't help but feel pizza is the one constant she still has. But when she calls a local pizza place she endures an embarrassing conversation with the deep, amused voice on the other end of the phone. And the embarrassment only increases when Ray discovers the source of the sexy voice is one of her new roommates. This is a story about first love (realistic fiction), and entails drunken parties, hilarious roommates, and new experiences. Excerpt: I feel his eyes run over my party-ready state and something in my chest tightens. I study his face carefully, unable to look away even if I wanted to. I can almost feel his heated gaze on my skin as he runs his eyes up and down my body, his icy irises glinting with an unfamiliar expression that sets off something deep and molten in my core. There is a smoldering flame behind his cool blue eyes that is alight with a burning passion, and it makes my skin and blood and bones feel like the kindling to a fire waiting to be ignited. If he so much as moves or breathes or steps any closer, I am sure it will be the end of me. (Not completed, includes some cursing and is mildly graphic, so please don't read it if this bothers you)
