"I'd be more comfortable if you had a weapon," said the judge. The last thing Sarah Justice expected when she started her first year of law school was to become entangled in a passionate relationship with a handsome stranger. And for the first two weeks of school, her perfectly conceived plan of "study, go to class, study, eat, go to bed" went off without a hitch. Enter Henrique Alvarez, a first-year law student from Belize, who asks her innocently if she can help him improve his English. She readily agrees and is quickly involved in an intimate relationship for which she is unprepared. She is flattered by the attention of this handsome and exotic man, who seems intent on spending every moment possible with her. He oozes sexuality and touches her, literally and figuratively in ways that no man has before. Within a few days of knowing him, 'Henri, ' as he prefers to be called, turns up everywhere. He escorts her to class, meets her after class, and takes her to dinner. Sarah, who realizes how lonely she was, pours out her heart to him. Sarah knows she is in over her head when her grades start to decline. She has always worked hard to be an 'A' student and she vows to get her study time back. Every time she asks Henri to leave when she wants to study, he demands "just one little kiss," which takes on a life of its own and wipes out her good intentions. As Sarah tries to resolve her dilemma, she begins to see a side of Henri that sets off alarms. Sarah is glad her father insisted she have a gun.
