She wasn’t supposed to fall in love…
Iris Patel is back in her hometown, Rosehill Mississippi, but this time, as her true self.
She has her dream job teaching art at her old high school, following in the footsteps of the woman who changed her life.
She’s determined to keep her head down and focus on being the best teacher she can be. Football star turned coach, Nate Wesley, is a distraction she can’t afford.
He’s persistent, he’s charming and he’s unexpectedly gentle. He could ruin everything. Because Iris has a secret she can only keep for so long.
How will the traditional southern gentleman react to finding out that she is transgender? Will it bring them closer than ever or shatter the new life she’s trying to build?
As love begins to grow between the unlikely pair, family secrets and buried relationships begin to surface. And in a town where prejudice still lingers, love might not be enough.
