Taylor Mooreland has more than her share of problems. Her mother's an irresponsible dreamer who's more interested in floating from audition to audition than she is in paying her bills. So, Taylor's got to keep the ship afloat, taking care of her little brother and working to help pay the bills while she's going to school. And if life wasn't difficult enough, now she's gotten herself into quite the mess with a guy who thinks she's a man.

Willing to do whatever it takes to finish college and help her family out of poverty, Aurelia Bunting does the very thing that she hates – she becomes an exotic dancer/stripper. On top of that, her steady boyfriend just cheated on her with her best friend and she has a large tuition bill due.

Fresh from a breakup, too, Professor Baron Weaver is not so deep in grief to overlook the beautiful Virgin Island native that attends his brother’s bachelor’s party. There’s something about her that’s just so…so delectably unforgettable.

Since anonymity is crucial at events like these, Aurelia has no idea that the man she’s dancing for is going to be one of her new professors this year. If either of them had known, they would have never even considered finding comfort in each other’s arms that fateful night.
