When Logan sets his sights on Ella he notices something different about her. She's not like the other U.C. Santa Barbara students...somehow more serious or is it more damaged? Even though Ella is his student, Logan can't help but fall for her. It's a forbidden love, but one he can't ignore.
Ella notices Logan too. He's tall, athletically built, and...her biggest weakness, smart. He seems like the perfect guy but she's not sure that she can trust him. She hides a painful past and letting someone into her life would force her to open up about herself.

Fame and fortune isn't enough for Dylan Manning. He uses his power to control and manipulate everyone around him. Ella was left in his care after her mother died. One might imagine that having a famous benefactor is appealing, but Ella's relationship with Dylan is complicated. Logan makes it his mission to discover why Dylan is so hell bent on breaking them up.

Can Logan and Ella's love survive the treacherous tide that rises with Dylan's interference? Both know that falling in love isn't easy. But sometimes it's worth risking everything for love...especially if one can't imagine a world without you.
