He was probably sent here to ruin her life.Peter is beyond beautiful with his sexy blue eyes, dark hair, and toned body. Add in his charming wit and Peter is everything Sidney ever wanted in a man, but when things get hot and heavy Peter shows her the door. Sidney takes the walk of shame and leaves. It's the end of the worst blind date ever. Her life couldn't possibly reach higher levels of suckage, but it does.The next morning everything comes crashing down. The insanely hot guy from last night, the one that saw her half naked, is teaching at the front of the classroom.
