Nothing Ventured (A New England Romance)

He just has to survive flaming appliances, nipple rings, rabid squirrels, and a basement-dwelling chupacabra to win the girl of his dreams.

Karlie is a star volleyball player at a small college in New England. Moving into the last available apartment on campus, she has high hopes until she finds its state less than stellar. Deciding to make the best out of a sketchy situation, she soldiers on.

Until she locks herself out on the first night. No one else has moved in, so she's left with only one option. Call the university police to help.

Max is just settling into his new, temporary assignment as a police officer on one of the many college campuses in town. Heading home after patrolling the first day of move-in by the fall athletes, he agrees to take one last call.

Little does he know what awaits him on the other side of the door.
