"Claire Bennett accidentally slaps the school’s most feared boy in front of everyone. He blushes—and carries her backpack home. She thinks Ethan Reed is a helpless nerd who needs her protection. Everyone else thinks she has a death wish. But the boy who terrifies an entire school lets her steal his breakfast, boss him around, and bury him in homework. Then Claire catches him threatening the thug who harassed her—and discovers who she’s really been “protecting.” Now she’s terrified of payback. Ethan has something very different in mind. How does he convince the only girl who ever challenged him to stop running away?"
