School is in session and there are lots of lessons to be learned.

Besides, newbie Bella is probably the only student naïve enough to tackle Edward Cullen, a juvenile delinquent in training. Edward’s main pastimes include avoiding school and hanging out with his lovelorn, best friend Jasper Hale. In Edward’s opinion, Jasper needs a tutoring session of own in order to get over his ex- Alice. However Alice is too busy trying to console her friend Rosalie –who is only interested in one lesson: how to win the affections of Edward Cullen.  

Edward is the retired right hand man for the infamous mob boss, Charlie Swan. When asked to train a woman to help to protect herself and her daughter, he had no idea the trouble he'd find himself in. She's the boss's daughter, can he keep his hands off?  OCC/AH
