Publisher’s Synopsis

*A TikTok Sensation!*

 

A sweet encounter between a bookworm and a basketball player turns steamy in the stacks after hours . . .

 

Kendall Holiday spends her Fridays exactly where she wants to be: ensconced in a romance novel in an empty college library working the graveyard shift. The quiet of the library is dependable, and gives Kendall an excellent excuse for skipping out on the loud, raucous start to the weekend. Lost in the pages of her favorite love stories, Kendall blocks out the world-until Vincent Knight, the school’s star basketball player, turns up.

 

Handsome, tall, and extremely popular, Vincent’s a standout on the court, but he’s out of his depth in the stacks: he’s got an urgent assignment due and doesn’t have a clue where to start. When his meet-cute with Kendall turns into a steamy make-out session, neither are quite prepared for what comes next.

 

Opposites might attract in romance novels . . . but it takes a lot more truth than tropes to make it work in real life.
