Best-Laid Plans — Willa Okati

Teddy and Jefferson get along like a house on fire. Literally. Jefferson's a serious-natured soccer star, and Teddy was born to party till the wheels come off. Oh, they might have jerked it a few times thinking about each other, but they'll burn this mother to the ground before they ever get along. The only thing they have in common are their friends--Jefferson's buddy Emmett, and Teddy's BFF Noelani. Emmett's just blown all his savings on a house near campus, and he needs tenants to help make the monthly payments. That's where Teddy and Jefferson come in. Hey, anything's better than the dorms.

So far so good. Until Noelani's former fiancé Beau--also Emmett's former best friend--rolls back into town. Panicked over the return of their old feelings for the rough-riding badass, Noelani and Emmett decide the only sensible ‘save' is to get married. Of course. Teddy and Jefferson both know that's a bad idea, and that those two are going to need their friends more than ever. That means only one thing: no choice but to raise the white flag and join forces.

Pros: free rein for sexual hijinks in the name of ‘getting along'. Cons: Easier said than done.

Despite it all, Teddy and Jefferson are also discovering that they have more fun fighting with each other than they would kissing anyone else. Maybe--maybe--they're falling in love. But when Beau reveals the real reason for his return and everything turns topsy-turvy for everyone involved, is their new alliance strong enough to save the day?
