Hengist, in turn, knows that sharing his school's magnificent facilities with Larkminster Comp will not only bring him vast tax concessions, it will also ensure frequent meetings with the tempestuous but captivating Janna. Teachers and parents are horrified by such a bonding, but for the pupils, the scheme provides joyous opportunity for scandalous behaviour.

Janna Curtis, the young, feisty and highly attractive new head, drafted in to save the failing Larkminster comp, faces a daunting task. Her pupils are out of control, her teachers bolshy, and Larks's prime site has made it the target for greedy developers. She detests private education, but to rescue Larks she will go to any lengths - even forming a partnership with Bagley Hall and its arrogant but utterly gorgeous headmaster,Hengist Brett-Taylor.
