Emma Swan used to be nothing but an orphan. After finally aging out of the foster system, she moves to Storybrooke, Maine and takes Poetry 101 at the local College.
Killian Jones is not your typical 'bad boy' at Storybrooke University. He takes Poetry 101 where he meets Emma Swan. He's admired her from the back of the classroom ever since day one and starts sending her poetry, unwillingly to expose himself because of old, broken wounds.
Emma's love for poetry only grows when she receives anonymous letters in class. After being misunderstood her whole life, the only person who seems to understand her is the mysterious stranger writing them. She starts to fall in love, but will she ever find out who he is and will she be able to admit her true feelings and open up her heart completely?
After Killian has been hurt before by his first love, will he ever be able to reveal himself to Emma as her admirer?
