Moving in with her brother seemed like a good idea until she met Colin Fitzgerald. The tattoo-covered hockey player spends his time gaming and dismissing her as flighty. Fitzy made his disinterest crystal clear, even though the attraction between them could set their shared house on fire. She refuses to chase after any man, especially one who lives down the hall and stays close friends with her brother. The situation gets messier because his best friend wants to date her. She has bigger problems anyway. Her new school brings challenges, including a professor who makes her skin crawl. Her future remains a question mark. But those sparks with Colin keep getting stronger, no matter how much he pretends she means nothing to him. If her brooding roommate ever figures out what he's walking away from, he can find her. She'll be right there in the next room.
