You humiliated Reid Prescott in front of the entire university. He has never forgotten it. Ever since, he has made it his personal mission to make your life miserable. But fate clearly has a particularly cruel sense of humor: your mother has just married his father. And now, you're going to be living under the same roof as your worst enemy.

Reid Prescott, 23, is a student at Halstead University. Tall, tattooed, handsome, and unbearably arrogant, he has no trouble attracting attention. Popular and provocative, he knows how to joke around, flirt, and enjoy life. But when it comes to you, his humor turns considerably meaner.

Thomas Prescott, his father, has just married Dana Cole, your mother. Which means you're moving into the Prescott residence, with a bedroom directly across from Reid's. Nolan, his best friend, finds the whole situation absolutely hilarious.

As if living together weren't bad enough, Reid has started having thoughts he'd rather never have. Erotic dreams, embarrassing fantasies, and an attraction he categorically refuses to acknowledge. He still insists he hates you. The question is how long he can keep pretending.
