Nia Forrester

“Kate won’t be back ‘til Monday.” A roommate. Her boyfriend. An irresistible opportunity. Terri has always been “the quiet one.” People think she’s shy, but she’s really not. She’s pretty enough, and smart enough, she just hasn’t been particularly … remarkable. Ian on the other hand is remarkable. He’s also Terri’s roommate Kate’s boyfriend. He notices what others do not. He knows Terri’s not shy, and he’s curious about what else she might be. Kate being away for a long weekend provides the perfect chance for him to find out. Terri might be into it. A completely unexpected kiss she and Ian shared the week before makes him hope she will be. Or maybe … she’s just not that kind of girl.

Running away from his feelings is the one race he'll never win ...A star athlete and Olympic prospect, Kal Carter is bound for greatness. Everyone says it, only he's not sure he entirely believes it. Because he’s lost something he can’t replace, and most days feels like he’s holding up the sky; and doing it all on his own. To maintain focus, he never lets anyone close except in the most superficial ways and he’s become very good at it. Until a long, cold week when the solitary girl next-door who never speaks, smiles or makes eye-contact barges into his life and seems poised to upend the whole doggone thing.
