Striking a Pose

Clayton is determined to leave behind his father’s military legacy and get into MIT, but with a scholarship as his only way out, he needs to keep his head down and focus on his grades.

A Crush He Can’t Shake: Clayton’s best friend is dating the girl he used to crush on—who happens to go to the all-girls school down the road, Rosewood. Clay swears off social events to avoid temptation, but life has other plans.

Forced to Collaborate: Clay’s community service at Rosewood lands him working with Indigo, a prickly art student. He’s a math-and-physics guy, so he doesn’t exactly get her world, but they’re stuck working together on her art project.

A Mistake with Big Consequences: Clay makes a grave error that could cost him his future—and his friendship with his best friend. With Indigo’s help, he might just find a way to fix it, if he’s willing to listen and learn.

Unexpected Chemistry: As Clay and Indigo continue to clash and collaborate, sparks begin to fly, revealing they might just have more in common than either of them first thought.
