Synopsis
Noah Worthington, the carefree heir to Worthington Industries, can see flashes of the future, a gift passed down through the men of his family. After his father declares him unfit to take over the company, Noah enrolls at Worthington College in disguise as broke transfer student "Noah Chance" to prove he can succeed without money or his name. On his first day he saves global pop star Harper Cole from a speeding car and sparks a romance, only to discover that Harper is the one person whose touch shuts his powers off. Frat king Blake Mercer, his mean-girl girlfriend Madison Layne, Harper's scheming ex-publicist Brooke Kane and Blake's corrupt mother, college president Alexandra Mercer, all set out to humiliate and expose him. When Harper's dangerous ex, Tate Sinclair, kidnaps her and tries to force her into marriage to cover up an embezzlement scheme, Noah risks his life with a supercharged dose of his power to save her. The result is a fast, funny, swoony Cinderella-in-reverse campus romance with action and plenty of comeuppance.
