Crockett Devine is a butch playboi and assistant professor of English. She wants forever someday, but not today. Until she meets Gina, her wingman Melinda's TA, and sparks fly immediately. They're falling hard and fast for each other until fall semester starts and it looks as if they'll crash and burn. When their hot and happily ever after is cooled by academic politics, Crockett insists they see other people despite Gina's protests.

Will they be strong enough to withstand the temptations of their unwanted lessons in desire? Or will they give in and lose each other for good?
