Cassidy Monroe never meant to fall for her professor. But something about his quiet charm, the way he carried his sorrow like a shadow, pulled her in deeper than she ever expected. As their connection grows, Cassidy stumbles into the dark past he's...

"Lets just fall in love and call it a day." He smiled.
"Deal."
