The Billionaire’s Son by Clancy Nacht

Reckless and handsome Dane Peters is a good-for-nothing trust fund baby: listless, indecisive, and better known on campus for being a wild ride than a smart student. Desperate to stay in college and out of the real world, Dane changes his major once again—this time to English, whose department dean is a Peters family friend.

To keep party boy Dane on the straight and narrow, the dean assigns penniless lit geek and grad student Hugh Halberstadt to mentor Dane so he can graduate and take his place as heir to the family empire. Unfortunately for everyone, Dane isn’t ready to grow up, and as much as the reserved Hugh wants to help, Dane could be a dangerous distraction from the thesis paper Hugh can’t afford to put off.

Awkward with their growing affection, the pair are forced to contend with their radically contrasting lifestyles as the end of semester—and Christmas—approaches.

Will Hugh teach Dane to be a responsible adult? Can Dane convince Hugh that spontaneity and fun aren’t a bad thing? Will this odd couple overcome their differences, or will the end of the semester be the end of their time together?
