Cassie, 31, has one vow that she will never break - to remain a virgin at all costs. The trauma of growing up with a father who left before she was born has left her fearful of any physical intimacy. However, when she begins teaching at the university in Vancouver, her gaze is drawn to Aylan Bear, an indigenous native. Her heart races and her body ignites with desire whenever he is near. But there's a problem - he is ten years her junior and she is his professor, making their relationship forbidden and dangerous. Every moment they are together feels like a ticking time bomb, threatening to demolish both of their reputations and her career if they give in to their primal urges. And yet, the pull between them grows stronger every day, building towards an explosive climax that could change their lives forever.
