Chapter 1

To avoid being sent to an all-boys grammar school, Zach Hanson's clever idea of "cleaning up his act" is forcing innocent, dainty Rose Hastings into being his girlfriend in hopes of impressing his father.

Either seems plausible, though to make matters worse, an old-flame returns to town, unintentionally turning Rose's heart into a game of tug-of-war.
