The shy man has been rejected all his life, so when the new professor turns out to be destined for him, he just can't help but let hope bloom in his chest. Maverick knows that his pretty student is off limits, and one day of indulgence was all he was going to award himself. Avoiding the temptation is proving difficult, but he has to persevere if he wants to keep his job and protect his soulbound. One little baby is about to turn both men's worlds upside down.
