Charlie Lindquist is a bit of a mess. At nineteen, she’s two years away from total adulthood and graduating with her Bachelor’s degree, but when she signs up for a new course offered exclusively to English Lit majors, her life will never be normal. The professor is none other than the gorgeous Nate Hawthorne—a man with whom Charlie already shares a tumultuous past. In the struggle to prove to him that she’s more mature and strong-willed than she was at sixteen, she may end up with the opposite result. Either way, Charlie’s got a plan and despite how deliciously dark Hawthorne is, if she’s going down, he’s going down faster and harder and in flames.
