Kendall Holiday spends her Friday nights exactly where she wants to be: with her head buried in a spicy romance novel while she works the graveyard shift at her university s library.

She knows she could join her friends for a weekend of drunken debauchery and college parties, but she likes her alone time, so she tells herself she isn t hiding when she gets lost in the pages of fictional love stories.

But that all changes when Vincent Knight, captain of the basketball team, turns up with an injured wrist, a sour mood, and a pressing need for poetry recommendations for a class he hates.

Vincent is tall, smart-mouthed, and challenges Kendall like no one has before. Suddenly, she s falling headfirst into her very own romance novel.

But it takes a lot more truth than tropes to get to a happy ever after in real life . . .
