It was a meet-cute that should have come with a happy ending. I was hardly at my best when I caught Andy snapping photos of me topless in the name of street photography. I fired angry words at him.

I shy away from romantic entanglements because I know firsthand the collateral damage they cause.

Catching up turns into drinking, which turns into dancing, which turns into them practicing wrestling moves on me, sans clothing.

I’m careless, and I probably shouldn’t have gone out of my way to hook up with a very pretty, very straight boy. His bright eyes drill into me in a desperate attempt to dive inside, but what he doesn’t know is that would be the worst decision of his life.

The only fly in his ointment is the dance instructor, Laurie Parker, who can't seem to stay out of his way.

Colin: My life is pretty quiet, and I prefer it that way. I do my schoolwork, I have what some would call a nerdy hobby, and I have my, um...toys. Tutoring pays the bills, and when I’m asked to help the star football player fix his grades, it’s just another job, right? Then I find out he’s a dragon-shifter who likes to party rather than study. God, I wonder if the stories about dragon-shifter anatomy are true? Not that I’m likely to find out, since he’s clearly straight!
