    About this ebook

    Cooper has the hots for Ian. And he knows he can get him. After all, he’s the six-foot-five, hunky basketball player and Ian is totally bookish. It’s supposed to be a ‘slam dunk’ for Cooper—but not so fast. As nerdy as Ian is, he won’t just give in to Cooper’s charms. If Cooper wants even one date with this nerd, he’ll have to earn it.

      About the Author

      Slam Dunk!

      No thanks, I’m not really interested, Ian Kendall said. Appreciate the thought, though.

      No. No? Had Ian really said what I thought he said? It actually sounded like he’d said no to me—right after I’d asked him out to dinner. I’d even offered to pick him up. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t need to dig the wax out of my ears, I didn’t need a slap in the back of the head and I didn’t need someone to open the dictionary to ‘No’ for me so I’d know what it meant. It was just that no boy had ever said it to me before.

      He hadn’t exactly said ‘No’; he’d said ‘No thanks,’ and that he appreciated the fact that I’d asked him out. Yeah, that was a pitying way to say you’re not interested. It was letting a guy down gently. You’d think a guy would’ve felt the sting of rejection at least once in his life. Even I, the great Cooper Lewis, should know how it feels to be turned down.

      Okay, okay, okay, I’m not really that full of myself and I definitely don’t think I’m God’s gift to gay teens or anything. But I am the school’s star point guard, I am six-foot-six with a lean build and a toothpaste commercial smile. I don’t want to list all of my best qualities here (I’m not some fat-headed egotist, remember?) but what I’ve said is reason enough for why no boy has ever turned me down. When I stopped Ian in the hall, I just wasn’t ready to hear ‘no’ for the first time.

      But, to be fair, it wasn’t ‘No’ as in Get out of my life, creep! It was ‘No, thanks’ as in It was very sweet of you to offer, Cooper, but I’m afraid I’m going to be busy washing my hair. And if I’m not doing that, I’ll be doing my taxes. Something like that.

      Here’s the deal with Ian: he wasn’t your average boy. In fact, you could say he was even less than your average boy.
