Roan King. The uncrowned King of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls just fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs nice and wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population here at Barnett. I'm sure he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year. Yeah... I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type- a steroid infused meathead jock coasting through college on his football prowess. Ugh. I have three words for you- avoid, avoid, avoid. Need I say more? I don't think so. I've had the sad misfortune of running into him on campus. Literally. As in- I literally slammed into him before spilling my iced coffee drink all over that wide rippling chest of his (did I just say that?). What I learned from the experience is that Roan King is one hell of a cocky son of a- And, well... I also learned that he has the most spectacular chest... And don't even get me started on those abs... I could probably cut diamonds on them. Unfortunately for me, Operation- Avoid-Roan-King isn't going so well. Everywhere I go, there he is. If he wasn't so ridiculously hot, he would be a hell of a lot easier to forget. With his dark hair, shocking turquoise colored eyes and (damn him) buff body, he's easily the most gorgeous guy I've ever laid eyes on. Crap... see what I mean? Why do I suddenly have the bad feeling that Roan King is going to somehow lead to my utter ruin and downfall?

Mandy's seductive plan takes a turn for the worse when a complete stranger, the pretentious and God-like Brandon Gage, walks in on her wearing nothing but a trench coat and high heels. After her last long relationship ended with her betrayed, Mandy is looking for someone comfortable and "perfect," AKA Jake, the boy she has always been in love with. Sadly, fate has other plans. As an attempt to get Jake to finally see her as a woman (his nickname for her being "Man"), Mandy accidentally seduces the wrong guy when his roommate walks in on her instead. Her error becomes Brandon's new challenge. Brandon starts appearing everywhere, distracting her from plans to win over Jake. When she mistakenly announces in a lecture hall that she would love to straddle (meaning "strangle") him, his efforts double. After a sports injury, Brandon becomes her patient at the university health clinic where she works. Brandon flirts and teases, as Mandy's physical therapy job requires her to massage his muscles. Eventually, he develops OSMWSSJAFFM: "Operation seduce Mandy while she seduces Jake and falls for me." Brandon learns, however, that pretending makes him want her more. For Mandy, an art major who lives (and literally paints only) in black and white, a boy like Brandon who adds color to her life and makes her lose control, is dangerous. Especially when his muscular build is like something from an erotic fairytale. Can modest Mandy really fall for a guy who, whenever she bites her lip, threatens to lick it better? Can she overcome her trust issues from her abandoning father and cheating ex, and learn to let him in?
