When my best friend committed suicide in our senior year of high school, I moved two states away, trying to escape the grief.
Less than two years later, I found out that my girlfriend had cheated on me and was about to have another man's child.
I spent the next three years retreating into a shell of my former self, keeping everyone at arm's length. If all I got out of letting people in was pain, what was the point?
But that all changed the night I met Zoe.
When I heard her sing, her voice captivated me. When I talked to her, I felt an immediate connection. When I kissed her, she brought me back to life.
And then she walked into my classroom the next day...as one of my high school students.
Could I really pretend the chemistry between Zoe and I didn't exist? Or was I willing to risk everything to be with the girl who had reminded me that life was worth living?

Klappentext
Elijah hasn't had the best luck in life. When his best friend committed suicide right before the end of their senior year of high school, he went to Florida in search of a fresh start. When his girlfriend betrayed him a year later, it seemed as though the universe was conspiring against him to make his life as miserable as possible. Until he met Zoe. In a matter of a few hours, she turned his world upside-down and gave him back his passion for life. When he starts his first teaching job out of college the next morning and sees her sitting in his class as one of his high school students, will he retreat back into himself like he's become accustomed to doing for so long? Or will he risk everything for the girl who reminded him that life is worth living to its fullest?
