Between the Lines

Zayn Malik is a man of few words. By day, he's an English teacher, calm and composed, but by night, he serves drinks at a local bar, hiding behind the anonymity of a bartender. His past in Bradford, shaped by a tumultuous childhood and a traumatic relationship with his stepfather, has built walls around his heart. But Aisha, a 19-year-old high school senior, sees beyond the quiet, mysterious man who's admired by many. As she develops a crush on her teacher, she begins to uncover the dark secrets that Zayn has kept hidden for years. Can she break through his defenses, or will the shadows of his past remain too strong to overcome?
