Sam Squared<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Author: <\/b>Cindy Dorminy<\/span><\/p>\n

Publication Date: <\/b>March 17th, 2025<\/span><\/p>\n

Genre:<\/b> YA Contemporary Romance<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Description:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Falling in love should be easy as Pi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Samantha Baughman has one month to raise her GPA, or she can kiss her coveted Auburn basketball scholarship goodbye. Her only hope lies with her high school\u2019s resident bad boy\u2014and closet genius\u2014Samuel King.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last thing Samuel wants is to get tangled in anyone else\u2019s problems. But when he gets caught helping another student cheat, his teacher offers him a get-out-of-jail-free card. With a one-way ticket to boarding school as his only other option, Samuel reluctantly agrees to tutor Samantha\u2026 with one stipulation. They have to keep their arrangement on the down-low. No one can know about their study sessions, especially Samantha\u2019s overprotective brother, who has already warned Samuel to stay away from his sister.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the \u201cSams\u201d spend more time together, their playful banter turns into genuine attraction, including one extra-credit-worthy kiss. But Samantha\u2019s brother\u2019s threats send Samuel backpedaling so fast that he denies their encounter ever happened. Now, it\u2019s game on for Samantha to get him to confess. She may need his help to pass her classes, but he\u2019s the one who needs schooling in matters of the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

EXCERPT<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/div>\n

Samantha<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I take out my cell phone and send a quick text before class starts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me: Hey, Mule. Need your opinion. In private, please.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

His chuckle resonates through the classroom, signaling to me he got my message. My phone vibrates with an incoming text.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mule: Is this about sec?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Not sure what he means. Auburn is an SEC team, but there is no reason he would ask about that. I suck in a breath. Maybe he means sex. Heat rushes up my neck as I text back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me: NO!! Will you meet me at the Green Hills Library after school?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mule: What\u2019s it worth to you?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pondering my reply, I take a peek around to see him mouth, Well? <\/em>He is infuriating, and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m going through with this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me: I won\u2019t tell anyone you cried when Nemo\u2019s mom died.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mule: You wouldn\u2019t.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

While I relive that moment, I bite my lip to keep from laughing. He was a blubbering idiot throughout that entire movie after the first scene. It\u2019s my word against his, but he knows it\u2019s all true.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me: Try me.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
