Me + You

A new adult/college romance set in 1999

Brinna’s keeping a traumatic secret, one she’s trying to hold onto as she makes plans to graduate and move far from her tiny hometown. She’s twenty-eight, but her mother treats her like she’s fifteen. And if Aunt Lorraine asks one more time when Brinna is going to remarry, she might lose her mind.

Zach spends all his time in his head. It’s not easy being a genius. It’s even more difficult to stay rooted in the present when his thoughts are filled with endless calculations and future possibilities. The odds of finding a woman to ground him are a million-to-one. He should know, he’s done the math.

Thrown together in human sexuality class, they soon discover they’re a good team. Brinna offers to teach Zach the perfect formula for attracting women, and he solves her companionship problem.

Can Zach convince the once-bitten, twice-shy Brinna to give him a chance to prove their chemistry is good science? Or will their friendship turn out to be one giant miscalculation?
