And he looks fine on laundry day, in too little clothing. Soon, late night study sessions turn into dangerous flirting. And then a kiss turns into more. But they're determined to keep things in the feelings-free zone. Until lines blur and tensions rise when Ryann's brother learns the truth. And both their hearts are skating on thin ice...
