Lexie Monroe is an 18-year-old college cheerleader with a reputation as wild as her wardrobe is skimpy. Known for her curves, confidence, and chronic class-cutting, Lexie seems like the poster girl for partying over GPA. But beneath the bold lip gloss and bedroom eyes lies a guarded girl with deep abandonment issues, low self-worth, and a surprising hunger to be seen for more than just her body. When her academic failures threaten to get her kicked out of college, Lexie is told she must pass Media Ethics or face expulsion. Unfortunately, that means impressing the cold, sharp-tongued, brutally honest Professor Roman Wolfe—a 34-year-old former investigative journalist with a haunted past, a motorcycle, and absolutely no patience for seduction.
