They met at a coffee shop. Instant chemistry, perfect first date, falling fast. Then Back-to-School Night: he’s the dad of her fifth-grade student. She’s his daughter’s teacher. And they’re both already in too deep.
💬 Summary:
Sienna and Jace meet before they know about the impossible conflict—a mix-up at a coffee shop leads to flirting, texting, and a first date with insane chemistry. He’s a widowed architect with a daughter, she’s an elementary teacher starting at a new school. Neither mentions specifics. Then Sienna walks into Back-to-School Night and sees Jace across the classroom. He’s Harper’s dad. Harper, the sweet ten-year-old girl Sienna already adores. The dating ends immediately—it has to. Teacher-parent relationships are forbidden, and Sienna could lose her job. But the feelings don’t stop. Stolen glances at school events, accidental touches during conferences, and a fifteen-year age gap that shouldn’t matter but complicates everything. When the truth comes out, it won’t just cost Sienna her career—it’ll cost them everything they’ve been trying not to want.
