Romance doesn't fit into Adrienne's carefully constructed plans. She has mapped a course since her high school years and everything is going according to plan. She has worked her way through nursing school and only has a few months to go when Brandon announces that he loves her. Determination to stick to her plan, and house rules that forbid romantic relationships should be enough to prevent such distractions, but Adrienne's heart is refusing to play by the rules. The girls didn't accept Brandon as a roommate so he could provide romantic escape. What they wanted was a body guard. Tall and muscular, Brandon certainly can discourage any unwanted element. Who would have known that such a sweet gentle guy would create havoc in their lives? When Adrienne finally decides she can handle romance and her studies simultaneously for a few months, tragedy strikes. Brandon loses focus on his career and mistakes her dedication for lack of interest in him. As they drift farther apart, Adrienne is torn between her love for him and sticking with her path to success. A clean romance novella.
