​Carmen can't help crushing on her creative writing teacher. She's no different than any other girl who finds the incredibly sexy Mr. Atkins attractive, but for Carmen it's more complicated--not only is Mr. Atkins her teacher, he's also her boyfriend's brother! 

Sure, she secretly dreams about Mr. Atkins--after all, she's only human--but then suddenly, Carmen finds herself alone and adrift. One night at a party ruins her "perfect" relationship with her boyfriend, Jonathan, a guy she believed loved her as much as she loved him. 

Hurt and confused over the loss of the guy she thought for sure was "the one," forlorn Carmen runs into Mr. Atkins--and that's when things go from bad to incredible. 

Mr. Atkins not only understands her, he rescues her. Like a white knight on a steed, Darrel Atkins charges in and lifts Carmen up from the depths of her despair. And when he confesses his true feelings for her, and they both finally give in to temptation, everything seems perfect. 

Until Jonathan comes back, and turns her world upside down. 

Now Carmen has to decide if a secret affair with her teacher is worth the risk or if Jonathan can be trusted again with her heart.
