Description

When Nora Blake, a brilliant yet guarded literature graduate, returns to her small hometown to care for her ailing father, the last thing she expects is to cross paths with Ryan Hale—a man she once loved fiercely. Now a dedicated single father and an esteemed high school teacher, Ryan is the epitome of responsibility and charm. Yet, beneath his composed exterior lies a heart still haunted by the past. Nora is hired as a substitute teacher at her former high school, and fate places Ryan's daughter, Lily, in her class. As Nora and Ryan navigate the murky waters of their past relationship, they must confront old wounds and undeniable chemistry. But their budding romance is further complicated by school regulations that forbid any relationship between staff members, not to mention Nora's internal battle with trusting love again. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Nora and Ryan must decide if they are willing to break the rules and risk everything for a second chance at love, or if they will let fear and societal expectations keep their hearts unspoken forever.
