Ben Harmond has always wanted to be a stand up comedian, despite the fact that he's never been that funny. Each week, he grinds it out at local open mics, thinking he's the funniest guy in the room. This all changes when a beautiful woman named Trish Gibson shows up at one of his clubs, except she's not there to watch him---she's there to perform. Sweeping the room into tears with her quick wit and unique insights, Ben is both infatuated and infuriated with her talent. From that moment on, he becomes obsessed with learning everything he can about her---whether it's to steal her heart or her material.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

Ridiculous: Mattory
'I hear Mallory's voice before I see her, and I feel a grin spread across my face as she emerges from the hallway. "Oh, hey Matt, you did make it," she says, throwing me a dazzling smile. I don't know how she does it, but one of those smiles never fails to light up the entire room. Is it any wonder I fall a little bit more in love with her every time I see one?'

Enter Ethan Blackwood: a rich, ridiculously handsome, and annoyingly charming patient who doesn't know how to take 'no' for an answer. After a little too much flirting (on his part), their hospital meet-cute turns into a full-on, laugh-out-loud rollercoaster of a romance. When Ethan is finally discharged, it's not the end of their story. Nope. It's just the beginning. Mira, with her impeccable ability to avoid feelings, has a two-week vacation planned, and Ethan, well, he's got some major plans of his own: win Mira over, and possibly make her his. With the stakes set to "don't screw this up" and their chemistry undeniable, the next two weeks are all about swooning, teasing, and discovering that maybe, just maybe, love might actually happen in a way neither of them expects. Can Mira let down her walls? Can Ethan convince her he's not just some pretty face with money? Well, they're both about to find out, one awkward date and stolen kiss at a time.
