Leanne Galloway sees herself as an academic rising star but a feminine failure.  Her mother wanted beauty pageants and all things that are glitz and glitter and Leanne provided post doc work.  Leanne liked her life but was lonely and at the least likely place she could ever imagine she finds a connection to a man she should not want but has to have.Brandon Myles is working as a male dancer only to get his bills paid and finally obtain his doctorate.  One night in the crowd he sees this beautiful butterfly that he has to meet and for some reason wants to push out of her comfort zone but is he interested in a one-night stand or a long-term relationship?  Brandon has very little knowledge of what healthy relationships are but Leanne is showing him that even though they are mismatched they make a perfect pair.The more time that Leanne and Brandon spend together, the more they know that destined united them and what happens from here is all on them.  Friends disapprove, family is completely negative, and the higher authorities at the university are shocked at their behavior.  But at some point, you have to realize that life is more than fact, figures and making everything add up, to just go with your heart, and stop being the only reason the relationship not moving forward.This book really was a great read for me because you have two people that on the surface are complete opposites.  But after your get past the faade they project, you notice they are looking for the same thing we all are - love and companionship.  It is not as much about keeping your eye on the prize as it is figuring out what the prize should really be.  I have read other books by Ms. Mady and had every expectation that she would write this genre as well as she did others.
