There's a new English teacher at Rhododendron Academy for Girls. He's 24 years old, 6'2", has black hair and blue eyes, a couple freckles scattered in random places, and has the best smile. At least, that's what Paisley Ashton heard from the rumors. The summer before her senior year, Paisley's best friend moved across the country for both her dad's job and college. Now the house beside hers is empty and she lost contact with her best friend. What's worse is that her parents are having Paisley stay in the dorms to prevent her from feeling lonely while they're away. What rotten luck. But that luck changed the moment she stepped into fifth period English.
