{COMPLETE} Bayside University Book 1 After one night of heartbreak, Loni Davis is over it-love, dating, and especially men. Losing her virginity and getting dumped in the same breath was enough to kill any lingering hope she had for romance. But she refuses to let that disaster be the only chapter in her sex life. Her solution? Take control. Hook up on her terms, with whoever she wants, whenever she wants. If guys can have no-strings flings, why can't she? Jace used to be Bayside University's biggest player-until his reputation finally caught up with him. Now benched from the baseball team and forced to coach girls' volleyball as punishment, he crosses paths with Loni: tough, guarded, and utterly uninterested. Naturally, he's intrigued. But when he learns about her new no-strings philosophy, he makes her an offer-skip the random guys, and keep things simple... with him. Just sex. No emotions. No messy feelings. A no strings attached fling may sound like the perfect plan. Just as long as no one falls in love.
