But everyone knows what happens even with the best laid plans... Jason is a grown man of 28 years old, hardened and traumatized by his life experiences. At Blackwood State University, he is finishing his studies and wants to get his degree. The last thing he's interested in is the female population of campus... but the sexy, infuriating Reese may be a notable exception. This isn't a story about opposites attracting.
