He has received a letter that if he doesn’t bring his grades up in three classes he will lose his scholarship. He is spending more on a babysitter for the girls than he is making, and he still needs to feed the three of them.

Things are starting to come apart for him though. Shawn has been working two jobs, plus going to college on a scholarship to study engineering. Once the family home and everything else of value was sold off to settle the debt collectors, Shawn and his two toddler sisters were left homeless. His parents died and left staggering amounts of debt behind. Shawn is also straight, but maybe in the same way that Sage is straight? Sage, if you remember, was the young man who went to jail for a year in “Straight Boy”, book 0.5 in this series, which I reviewed a couple days ago. In the first full book, we are introduced to Sage’s cousin Shawn. Something neither of them wants.Ĭan I just stop and say that I am so happy I stumbled on this series on Amazon! He strikes a deal with Rutledge, but unexpectedly, the deal turns into something so much more. On the verge of losing his scholarship, Shawn becomes desperate enough to go to Professor Rutledge.Įveryone says Rutledge doesn’t have a heart. Shawn Wyatt is a twenty-year-old struggling to provide for his younger sisters after the death of their parents.

Strict, reserved and ruthless, he doesn’t tolerate mistakes and has little patience for his students. Professor Derek Rutledge is hated and feared by all of his students.
