Everybody's got a few secrets in hidden in the closet. For Zoe Sterling, a 19 year old college student, a few is an understatement. She has never EVER kissed a boy, lest alone spoke to one without being filled with modern millennium distaste, enjoys reading Shakespeare at 3am, wears lacy, see-through lingerie under her austere grandma clothes, is a strong advocate for feline rights, and currently boards a hot, 16th century time traveller in her apartment. Emphasis on HOT.
