in the apartment she shares with her friend, Caroline.

After junior Tucker Price, Southern University’s star soccer player enters the

equation, her carefully plotted life is thrown off its axis. Tucker’s failing

his required College Algebra class. With his eligibility is at risk, the

university chancellor dangles an expensive piece of computer software for the

math department if Scarlett agrees to privately tutor him.Tucker’s bad boy,

womanizer reputation makes Scarlett wary of any contact, let alone spending

several hours a week in close proximity.

else sees. He carries a mountain of secrets which she suspects hold the reason

to his self-destructive behavior. But the deeper she delves into the cause of

his pain, the deeper she gets sucked into his chaos. **Will Scarlett find the

happiness she’s looking for, or will she be caught in Tucker’s aftermath?**
