Ashton Ravensdale is determined to survive his last year in high school without getting involved with anyone or any trouble-- that is, until he gets paired up with trouble itself for a clearance project. Called the Sweet Devil by everyone at Colt University, Zoe Süss Teufel is the very person you might not want to be partnered with if you want to graduate. She's boyish, mischievious and even rumored to be a gangster-- every inch a femme fatale. But for the sake of his grades and his draining patience, Ashton tries to work with her and realizes that her infamous nickname, Sweet Devil, might actually need one word out of two gone.
