A man pining after his department rival.
A woman dying to shed her perfect persona.
A match made in… Vegas?

Sidney Culver:
Loathing Nate Cummings comes naturally for me. The bad boy hacker doesn't care one whit for the sacrifice that goes into running our department. I've worked too hard to become the favorite for department chair. He thinks he can just waltz in and beat me? I don't think so. But the more I learn about Nate's hidden gooey center, the more I doubt my rival wants to infiltrate anything more than my heart's defenses…

Nate Cummings:
I admit I've made mistakes when it comes to Sidney Culver. Reverting to playground tactics and pranks instead of asking her out was easier than sharing the tragedy that had brought me to Benton. Co-chairing our department dinner and beating her at her own game was the only way to win her respect. Maybe if we're stuck together in Vegas, she'll finally see me as more than an overgrown child, and recognize the man who secretly loves her?

When responsibilities bring them crashing back to earth, can Nate turn their Las Vegas fling into the real thing?
