When CC Walker had to attend a new college after being forced to move from her previous one, she wasn't expecting much. She wasn't the type of girl who enjoyed learning, instead, the only thing she thought of was football. Cairo Sweet had just moved towns after her inappropriate affair with her high school teacher, escaping her past in the easiest way possible, accepting the job as a literature teacher at the only college in her new town. But as soon as Sweet enters the doors of the college she's met by a new task; she'll be tutoring the trouble maker of the school. And the trouble maker does in fact get her into trouble.

Cairo Sweet thought changing schools would mean a fresh start. But when she's assigned to tutor the outgoing soccer captain, Cc Walker, old shadows begin to creep back in - and new feelings she never expected start to rise. Some secrets don't stay buried for long.
