Sam Squared (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781958231661)

Falling in love should be easy as Pi.

Seventeen-year-old Samantha Baughman has one month to raise her GPA, or she can kiss her coveted Auburn basketball scholarship goodbye. Her only hope lies with her high school's resident bad boy-and closet genius-Samuel King.

The last thing Samuel wants is to get tangled in anyone else's problems. But when he gets caught helping another student cheat, his teacher offers him a get-out-of-jail-free card. With a one-way ticket to boarding school as his only other option, Samuel reluctantly agrees to tutor Samantha... with one stipulation. They have to keep their arrangement on the down-low. No one can know about their study sessions, especially Samantha's overprotective brother, who has already warned Samuel to stay away from his sister.

As the "Sams" spend more time together, their playful banter turns into genuine attraction, including one extra-credit-worthy kiss. But Samantha's brother's threats send Samuel backpedaling so fast that he denies their encounter ever happened. Now, it's game on for Samantha to get him to confess. She may need his help to pass her classes, but he's the one who needs schooling in matters of the heart.
