For the first time ever, Elliot can't wait to get to chemistry class... ***** Smart, good looking and charismatic, Jordan opens Elliot's eyes to the possibilities around him and gives him butterflies like nobody else does. Jordan isn't exactly the kind of person Elliot's used to having as a lab partner, but when they start acing their assignments, life is suddenly about more than boring lectures, bad cafeteria nachos, or relentless bullying. And then one night, the butterflies start to make sense - the trouble is, now nothing else does. As Elliot begins to figure out how he really feels about Jordan, he realizes that sometimes the last thing you are expecting is the one thing you need the most. [[word count: 40,000-50,000 words]]

A single father living in a rundown complex with his nine-year-old son, Maizen, he's desperate to give his boy a better life - even if it means doing things he never imagined. When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind.

But when desperation meets opportunity, an unexpected arrangement could be the solution to both their problems... if they can survive each other long enough to make it work.
