At sixteen years old, I lost my first love, and it shook me to my core.
My parents thought taking me out of town for the summer would help me to move on, but I returned home the same way I left: a broken girl who was the last person to see her boyfriend alive.
The night before school started back up, I went to an open mic night and poured my heart and soul into a song I wrote for the boy who never made it home.
That night, I met Elijah, and we had an instant connection that I couldn’t ignore. For the first time in months, I felt alive again.
But the next day, Elijah walked into my drama class…as Mr. Larson, our new teacher.
How was I supposed to go back to the way things were when my whole life had been turned upside-down? And how was I supposed to stop myself from falling for the man who had brought me back to life?
Trigger Warnings
- Teenage bullying
- Secondary character's battle with - and death from - brain cancer
- Heroine's boyfriend going missing and ultimately turning up dead
- Discussion about the hero's best friend committing suicide before the start of the story
- Alcoholism in the heroine's father
- Heroine dating one person while pretending to date another (the hero IS aware of this and approves because it's purely for show)
- Harry Potter references
- Profanity
Please also note that this is a story about a seventeen-year-old student and her twenty-three-year-old teacher, which contains on-the-page sex scenes (this does NOT happen until after the hero is no longer teaching at the heroine’s school). This book DOES fall within the consent laws in the state in which it’s set.
