After an incident the previous year left her a social outcast and jeopardized a critical grad-school letter of recommendation from her favorite art professor, Evie Cooper enters her junior year at Oracle University determined to work hard, stay focused, and rebuild her reputation in the university art scene.

When Evie is out with her friends, she is confronted by her fellow TA, Owen, who is not only vying for the same favor from their professor but also a scorned ex determined on revenge. OU football player, Jasper Ried, swoops in to rescue her by pretending to be her boyfriend.

Soon, Evie learns that Jasper is in the art class she is assisting in. But unlike football, Jasper is terrible at art and asks Evie to help him. A bad grade could jeopardize his season.

The sparks between them grow into an inferno neither can resist. As the school year progresses, Evie and Jasper face hurdles in class, on the football field, and in their social lives that could jeopardize their relationship: can their newfound feelings survive the world around them?
