Professor Stephen Worthington has been taught a lesson by the emancipated Miss Julia Wilde. But what started out as a one night stand has turned into something more – at least when it comes to Stephen who is crazy about Julia and wants more than just sex and secret dates. Julia on the other hand seems less involved in their relationship and not as committed as Stephen but perhaps her unresponsive attitude is just a façade? It’s now up to Stephen to prove to Julia that the sexual chemistry between them can easily be mixed with romance and true love.

Professor Stephen Worthington’s life makes perfect sense. He teaches classes Tuesdays and Fridays. He has dinners with his parents on the weekend. He goes to the gym with his stepbrother twice a week. And every night he heads home at a reasonable hour, alone. Only one thing is bothering Stephen’s perfectly organized life: Miss Julia Wilde. Never has Stephen dealt with a more unruly student. She’s rude, provocative, infuriating and the clothes she’s wearing are completely inappropriate. But all this changes once Stephen finds himself out of the classroom and in Julia’s bedroom.
