Set in 1970, this is a tale of love, passion, and pain.
Rachel Spedoski was the first female Professor at an all male University in Pine Hill, North Carolina. She faced prejudice every day just for being a woman in a time when women were just awakening to how much power they really held in Western culture. She was in the beginning of her own sexual awakening, and when Cassandra Blake waltzed into her classroom for the first time, the Professor was unaware of the turn her life would take. Cass moved her soul and body in ways a man never had, and in ways most men said that the young woman never should.
Cassandra Blake was intelligent, lively, and beautiful, and Rachel Spedoski shouldn't have been so stirred with passion at the sight of her. Cass was her student, a good bit younger, and a woman. Her very presence in the class made Rachel ache inside with longing and fear, and she didn't appreciate the feelings at all.
Could such a story ever have anything but a tragic ending?
