Elle hates Taye Nichols, and she knows that he hates her back.
She only has to trudge into a studio to do a university-sponsored podcast with him for one more year without getting herself convicted of assaulting or attempting to murder him. Because even more valuable than the tuition waiver are the letters of recommendation and pulling strings that her department head has promised to help place her at her dream job after school.
It's only twice a week. Otherwise, her and Taye’s personal and academic lives never cross.
Until her twenty-first birthday. When her friend hires Nic. A stripper and escort to make Elle’s party just a little more wild and memorable. And Nic turns out to actually be Taye.
As much as she hates him, Elle’s not going to out Taye. So they decide to get through the night, and they can go back to their normal, mostly separate lives afterward.
But after they take things too far, Elle’s not sure they can go back to their separate lives. Or if she even wants to.
