Hawkin Play stands before a college classroom, fulfilling court-ordered community service after his twin brother Hunter's latest disaster nearly destroyed their band. The bad boy rocker with surprising decency has spent years fixing Hunter's messes, but this time the stakes involve possible jail time. His bandmate makes the tedious lectures bearable with a challenge: seduce the gorgeous teaching assistant. Quinlan Westin recognizes Hawke's type immediately and builds walls against his charm, even as electric attraction pulls them together. She refuses to become another conquest for the leather-clad musician. Hawke discovers that winning Quinlan requires more than his usual swagger. Their connection grows beyond physical desire into something neither expected. Just as Hawke begins breaking through her defenses, Hunter spots his brother's vulnerability. The destructive twin sees opportunity in Hawke's feelings for Quinlan and plots to exploit this weakness for his own gain.
