Elizabeth Ayers sits across from Christian Davison at a cafe table near Columbia University. She came to New York City to build the life she always wanted. He attends Columbia because his father expects him to take over the family law firm. Neither planned on the electric pull between them when they were assigned as study partners. Christian wants Elizabeth from the moment they meet. She feels the same intense attraction but fights against it. Elizabeth knows getting involved with someone like Christian means risking everything she worked to achieve. She tries to keep her distance, but the connection proves stronger than her willpower. Their relationship unfolds against the backdrop of demanding academic schedules and family expectations. Christian must navigate his father's plans for his future while Elizabeth protects the dreams that brought her to the city.
