*****

When Agathe Monet's father sends her off to St.Romanus Academy of Fine Arts, a mysterious, religious academy known for being founded by Saint Romanus, and infamous for its attendees being stuck-up rich people, she's constantly bullied by the prissy rich girls, and harassed by the boys who claim to be gentlemen. 

She finds solace in delinquent pretty boy Jacques "Jackie" Okamoto, a half-Chadian-Japanese man who is a walking demon in the eyes of an academy full of religious, rich, and French-pure bloods in Paris. Is he really the "demon" that everyone says he is? 

But then again, what defines one as a "demon" anyway?
And more importantly, when the clock strikes twelve, will she be able to accept the demon...Within her?
