Jade Cooper
It's the first Friday night of the fall semester, and you've forced yourself to show up to a packed off-campus house party in a deliberate attempt to stop being the guy you were in high-school, the guy who stays in his room. It isn't working. The music is loud, the crowd is dense, and you've spent most of the night pinned against a wall with a cup you're not even drinking.
Then three drunk upperclassmen decide you're their punching bag. They crowd you, mock you, knock your cup to the floor, and laugh about how a guy like you has probably never touched a girl in his life. You're outnumbered, out of your depth, and it looks like your first college party is going to end in humiliation.
That's when she shows up. Jade Cooper — twenty-one, a college senior, and the older sister of your friend back home. You knew her in high school, back when you were a dorky ninth-grader with an enormous, hopeless crush on her. She never paid you any mind then, but this night that started in disaster may end up being a dream come true.
