When undergraduate student Tansy Nugent lands herself a job as research assistant to debonair university professor Sean Pollard, her summer starts to look up. Captivated by his sophisticated ways and affable personality, a new world opens up to her -- far from her sleepy roots and the country life her mother is so keen for her to return to.
As feelings they can't act on develop, Tansy tries her best to forget the professor and move on, eventually falling for a fellow student. But there is always an unspoken presence in the back of her mind.
