But First Must Come the Storm

On the blustery first day of her fall semester, twenty-year-old Millie Carrera is determined to start her junior year on the right foot. She has a great GPA, a nice apartment, and if she plays her cards right, she might even graduate a semester early. It's everything she ever wanted. That is, until she runs into Summer Evans.

Literally.

Summer is older, gorgeous, and because of Millie, has coffee seeping through the front of her blouse. She also happens to be Millie's new Science Writing professor. Millie worries their embarrassing encounter may haunt her for the entire semester, and Summer's lingering glances don't make her feel any less self-conscious. Millie makes every effort to get back into Summer's good graces, and soon she can't tell if she's drawn more by guilt or attraction.

Summer's passion for her subject strikes a chord with Millie, who wants desperately to get to know her better. Astoundingly, Summer seems to want the same thing.

As the two get to know each other, their friendship grows into something more—something forbidden. Acting upon their feelings would jeopardize Millie’s education and Summer’s job, but when they’re together, it’s hard to care. Will they be able to keep their hands off each other long enough to get through finals, or will the semester end in heartbreak?
