Chloe had plans. Big ones, at that. Her dream of getting into Julliard was

shattered when she was rejected last year. Now, she's at UCLA's music composing

program, where she feels she's on the right track. Chloe is a piano prodigy and

music is her life. And that goal does not include love or anything remotely close

to it. Not even if it comes in the form of her insanely sexy literature TA, Jesse.

Jesse also had plans. He's a grad student in creative writing at UCLA and has

big dreams of becoming a bestselling author. His plan also doesn't involve love

or anything resembling a relationship.

What starts as innocent flirting leads to a serious relationship, one that must

be kept secret if Jesse hopes to stay in his program. It isn't long before they fall

deeply for each other, but not even love can conceal what neither of them are

willing to admit; They both have dark pasts. Now the hard work starts when

they share their secrets. Can their love handle the darkness, or will their pasts

render them better off alone?
