{For those who HATE student/teacher stories, TRY THIS ONE ANYWAYS. I dare you to read it and say it was a waste of time} Alice 'Ace' Spade had fled her horrible foster family by the time she was sixteen and found a way to survive by dancing in a sleazy strip club. One night a man named Malcolm is brought in by his friends and Ace and Mal hit it off. Until the cops crash the club and discover that Ace is only seventeen and a runaway. They force her back to school and back to the foster family that abused her. Her only solace is that Malcolm is now her teacher and sometimes protector. But what happens when they still have powerful chemistry and a growing affection towards each other?

Falling in love was never meant to be easy. Falling in love with your neighbour seemed too good to be true. Falling in love with your teacher is completely wrong and should never happen. But all these things did. Falling in love doesn't always end with happily ever after. Can two people with secrets, a jealous ex, an over bearing mother, a man who's out for revenge and heart breaking memory fall in love and make things work or will it all just prove to be too much.
