Amanda's family cottage is supposed to be a break from crazy, but Jordan, her next-door neighbor, has other plans, and they don't include her, not directly. He probably doesn't even remember she exists. Like always, he's loud, wild, and shirtlessness is a perpetual state of being. He's living in his grandmother's comically large lake house all by himself. No brothers or any authority this time. And it's a recipe for disaster. Amanda is an athlete with a day job and hates that she's getting dragged under thanks only to proximity. A minor catastrophe then brings these two face-to-face. She's angry and exhausted. He's hot and he knows it, but is he as shallow and insensitive as she's made him out to be?

"Admit it Skylar, you feel something between us," he purrs. "N-no I don't," I lie. "Your lying," he calls me out. "And now that I know there's a chance, I'm not letting go of you that easy." "W-what is that supposed to mean?" "It means my baby brother better watch his back, cause he now has competition." "You're crazy," I look at him in disbelief. "Crazy for you," he breaths against my mouth. He catches me off guard by wrapping his hand around the back of my neck and pulls me into him, crashing his lips to mine. He tongue gets access to mine and he presses his body against me, making it harder for me to break free. No way, I'm not giving in this time. I push him off of me and slap him across the face.
