When passion takes over, you bury your brains in the dirt.”

That’s a rough translation of the Yiddish maxim that Emily butchers when she’s trying to explain to Logan how physical attraction can overpower common sense.

Both of our protagonists take the stage with the wrong partners—a single dimension holds these shaky relationships together. Logan and Emily are facilitators in one of the university’s most popular courses, “Human Sexuality”. They may think that they are experts, but they soon realize that giving advice isn’t the same as having wisdom.

It slowly dawns on Logan and Emily that the best sex happens when other factors are involved, and that good friends truly do make the best lovers.

The first tale in Zach Aaronson's "Friends to Lovers" series takes us back to campus, before there was such a thing as social distancing, a target-rich environment of hungry young people in their sexual prime, a great place to find a hook-up, and, if you were lucky, a soulmate.
