[PUBLISHED UNDER POP FICTION, AN IMPRINT OF SUMMIT MEDIA] One competition, one man, twenty-five women, and a bet. Zachary Astor wanted to be the Bachelor for one purpose alone: to prove to his friends that he can ditch twenty-five women without ever looking back at any of them. But will he stand on to his words when he meets Julianne Grey, the only woman who seems to regret being in the competition? Despite what he thinks, Zachary will find his thoughts preoccupied by the weird, silent, and mysterious girl he keeps on giving a rose much to his own amazement and her disappointment.

Eighteen year old Sophia adores her one year old son Avory. She makes sure that he has everything before she begins to worry about herself. But the one thing that Avory doesn't have that Sophia can do nothing about is a father. Avory's father ditched the scene when Sophia told him she was pregnant at the young age of sixteen. She went through eight months of pregnancy and a tiresome labor without him and feels she doesn't need him. So, when she moves to L.A, she is suprised when she finds out he attends the college she enrolls in. Suddenly, he's back in the picture and Sophia doesn't know what to do for Avory. Kick him out and leave Avory fatherless or take back the scumbag that left her to raise their child alone?
