Still reeling from the loss of her father, twenty-two year old Cassandra Woods thought her biggest hurdle would be facing friends and professors she'd been avoiding all summer...until she finds out her new British Lit professor is her ex-boyfriend. It's been three years since Chance Crawford broke her heart when she refused to submit to him. Cassandra decides to show him how it feels to be hurt by the person you love—but once she feels his lips on her skin, revenge is the last thing on her mind...

Cassandra Woods is in trouble. Now that her ex Dr. Chance Crawford is back in town, holding onto her anger over his betrayal is becoming increasingly difficult—and keeping her hands to herself impossible. But even though sparks fly whenever they're near, Chance wants more than her body...he wants her forgiveness. Can Cassandra truly forgive him for what he did or are the sins of the past impossible to overcome?

Cassandra Woods is ready to give Dr. Chance Crawford her whole heart despite his past betrayal, but the road to forgiveness is not an easy one. Those close to her seem hell bent on keeping them apart and their doubts seep in like poison. And when someone reports Chance for inappropriate behavior with a student, Cassandra must find a way to keep it all together, just as everything begins falling apart... The Test is part three of the His Dark Lessons series.
