Raya's life was simple, not great, but not the worst. She's shameless-but only once you get to know her-brave, kind, funny, and very energetic. Her whole life she's been in and out of poverty but things start to go her way when she gets an acceptance letter from Yale. But a devilishly handsome Professor Kazimir threatens her self control. Adonis has had a hard life to say the least, the tattoos from his waist to his neck tell stories of the things he's been through. Although they sit there in plane sight nobody truly knows what they mean, and he's not planning on letting anyone know. Until he meets one of his newest students, Raya.
