It takes a chance encounter at a bar to move them forward into relationship that involves Emma turning Harold into a Ryan.  What’s a Ryan?  It’s a player that will fit perfectly into his fraternity.Emma cannot understand her instant attraction when her gaze is caught by a pair of steely dark gray eyes.  On a closer inspection she knows that he is so not her type, the way he dresses, his haircut with a mullet and dark thick glasses.  No definitely not her type, so why does she feel a need to help him, protect him from his Delta brothers?
