I ruined my life with one photo. I trusted the wrong girl. She sent it to the wrong man. And suddenly, I wasn’t just Addison Monahan anymore… I was the scandal. Expelled. Humiliated.
Sent away to start over somewhere no one knows me. New house. New school. New rules. I was supposed to keep my head down. Stay out of trouble. Disappear. Then I met him. My teacher.
He’s not supposed to look at me like I matter. Not supposed to listen when I speak. Not supposed to believe me when no one else did. But he does.
And the more time we spend alone… The harder it is to pretend this is nothing. Because it’s not. It’s stolen moments in empty classrooms. Lingering looks that last too long.
A connection that feels a little too real. We both know it’s wrong. That doesn’t stop me from wanting him. And it definitely doesn’t stop him from choosing me.
When everything finally comes crashing down, he’ll have to decide… Save himself? Or ruin everything for me.
