Summary

In the wake of her parents’ divorce, Ashleigh Sullivan grapples with the weight of depression, burnout, and loneliness. As she navigates the tumultuous waters of adolescence, she unexpectedly finds solace and connection in the unlikeliest of places-- with her AP Government teacher. Meanwhile, Liam Fordham, freshly divorced and in the midst of forging a new path by launching his own political consulting firm, accepts a temporary role as a long-term substitute teacher at a nearby private school. Caught in the throes of forbidden attraction, Liam wrestles with his expanding feelings for Ashleigh. Omari Marshall has always been the odd one out. He struggles to find his place in a world that doesn't understand him. While his younger brothers thrive in sports, Omari finds solace in the stars. His lifelong dream of attending the Air Force Academy is finally in reach. Brilliant but burdened by depression and anxiety, Omari battles to pass the Academy’s strict fitness requirements. To complicate matters, he has a quiet crush on Ashleigh, a perfectionist who is seemingly out of his league. As their paths intertwine, each must confront their deepest fears and desires.

Sneak Peek

Liam drags me to the very edge of the bed. The heat between us ignites, stronger than before, and as his hands explore my body. He palms both my breasts, then gently rubs my nipples between his fingers. As the moments pass the rubs become pinches. The pulling and pinching sends ripples of pleasure coursing through me.

My back arches off the bed as his lips close around one sensitive peak. “Liam,” I breathe out in a silent plea. Every graze of his teeth or flick of his tongue sends tingles shooting down my spine. I can feel him throbbing against my entrance, but he holds back from going in, denying me the ecstasy I desperately want.

His touch becomes more urgent, his tongue ventures further down, tracing a wet path over my stomach until he reaches my flower. He kneels between my legs with them resting over his shoulders. His mouth makes contact, his tongue tasting my nectar.

“I want to be sure my sweet angel is ready for me,” he says.

My fingers clutch tighter at the sheets beneath us, straining against every wave of desire that ripples through me. My body pushes against his mouth, my legs pulling him closer as I spiral out of control.

After a few minutes, Liam gets back to his feet, resting my ankles over his shoulder. “You have been such a good girl, I think you deserve this,” he says sliding his cock into me. “Every inch of this is for you,” he whispers, each word weighted with intention. His hands glide along my body, firm yet tender, as he moves with a rhythm that’s meant just for me.

“You feel that?” he asks, his tone low and possessive, his gaze locking with mine.

I bite my lip and nod and slowly.

“That’s what you’ve earned. Every bit of it.” His pace is deliberate and controlled, making sure I feel every inch of him, each slow thrust building the heat between us. “Keep your eyes on me,” he commands, his thumb tracing my cheek before he firmly cups his hand around my throat. “I want to see exactly how much you’re enjoying this.”
