Catching Liam

Jillian Nichols is twenty-one and runs her love life on one rule: catch and release. She and her friends treat boy-catching as a lifestyle. Boys are fine for a dance, a drink or a secret night together, but anyone who expects more is asking for heartache.

In junior year her closest friends, all fellow boy catchers, begin to pair off one after another. Jillian decides to keep boys in her bedroom and away from her heart. Then she meets Liam McAvoy, who stays to make waffles in the morning and either cannot or will not take a hint.

Liam is a study abroad student, and his student visa has an expiration date, so he cannot promise Jillian anything lasting. He has no wish to be another notch on her bedpost. He is also curious about why she works so hard to keep people at arm's length, and he is not ready to walk away from finding out.

This contemporary romance follows college friends, with a playful, flirty tone and a heroine who guards her feelings. Both of them play a game of pursuit in which neither can tell who is chasing whom. If Jillian falls in love, she breaks her own rule and risks a broken heart.
