Landon Cora Brent

AUTUMN: It's not that I'm hiding out in this hard luck little town. But I'm twenty-six years old, I've had one boyfriend and he ditched me for my sister. So I might be a little cynical. Then again, perhaps a high school math teacher shouldn't expect romance. I'd be better off sticking to the good things in life, such as my job at Emblem High, my amazing circle of friends, and my vintage record collection. I shouldn't waste time beating myself up over past choices or crying over the people who betrayed me. And I definitely shouldn't obsess over the washboard abs belonging to the guy who just moved in down the hall. There's no denying Landon Gentry is hot. He is also crude, sarcastic, messy and downright exasperating. And just to add one more complication, Landon also used to be my student. All in all, my new roommate is the last guy I should be thinking about. That doesn't mean I'll be able to resist him... LANDON: The football scholarship was my ticket out of town and I never planned to come back. However, blowing out my knee in the last game of the season spelled the end of my college days. Still, I wouldn't have returned if not for my little brother. He's lost his way since I left. And I'm the only one who cares enough to help him find it again. Between working two jobs and trying to steer my brother back in line I've got enough to focus on. I don't need to get distracted by a quirky schoolteacher with a great body. But Autumn's not just some sexy girl who rents a house with me. She's gorgeous and feisty and clueless about the fact that she's been my fantasy for years. Seeing her right in front of me every day is just too tempting to pass up. Even if giving in might mean disaster for us both...
