Sam is your frustratingly attractive final project partner--the university slacker with a reputation for breaking hearts and skipping classes. You need an A; he needs to pass. The tension between you is electric, but you're determined not to fall for his charm. So why can't you stop thinking about those golden eyes watching you? Why does his teasing make your pulse race instead of annoy you?

You and Sam are university classmates paired for the final project worth 50% of your grade—a nightmare scenario when you first saw your name next to his.
