By Gianni Holmes
From USA Today Bestselling Author Gianni Holmes comes a new heartfelt, steamy, forbidden, teacher-student romance.
Abe Cooper is a triple threat.
He's my best friend's father.
He's the football coach at my high school.
And he's a married man
His marriage is on the rocks and he could lose his job for the way he looks at me.
I could lose my only friend in the world.
I know I should stay away instead of flirting with him.
But all the cons don't outweigh how I feel when I'm with him.
When my home situation gets worse, Abe is there for me. But what we do under his roof when everyone's asleep makes me feel guilty.
Now his daughter, my closest friend, knows he's stepping outside his marriage and she's hellbent to find out who I am.
How long can we keep us a secret and how dare we be happy together when it might hurt the ones we love?

Excerpt:
Cafeteria duty was the bane of every teacher’s life, and no year passed when the school didn’t assign me to the tedious task. Not that it was a hard job; it was boring, and being inactive for forty-five minutes while rowdy teens trafficked through the cafeteria wasn’t my idea of time well spent. But I understood. The school had a high standard and monitored the students at all levels from class to extracurricular activities.
We didn’t have too many “incidents,” but from time to time, ones like I’d witnessed in the halls two days ago cropped up.
I’d never wanted to smack a kid before that day.
It was also the day I’d decided to stay as far away from Emery Cannon as possible. I didn’t even need to understand it, but I trusted my gut. The way he’d tilted his chin in defiance and basically called me out when he thought I had a problem with the bra he was wearing had left me unnerved. About the whole situation.
And it had nothing at all to do with the blush pink lace bra. On his flat, hairless chest. He also happened to be the first person I saw when I entered the cafeteria. Was it his laughter that had drawn me? One second I was walking. The next I froze, seeking the sound that drifted across the room. He was sitting with some members of the cheerleading squad, my daughter’s arms around him. The way they touched each other seemed so natural to them. How far did they go? The boy looked better today than the other times I’d seen him. The day I’d broken up the fight with Priest, he’d covered a bruise with his makeup. He hadn’t done a good enough job hiding it, though. Did more people bully him than just Priest? Was that how he’d gotten that bruise? I shook my head and marched in the opposite direction of their table. I’d encouraged Emery to report being bullied, but he’d turned down my offer. If he had been a younger kid, I would have reported it without hesitation, but he was eighteen or so, and he’d decided not to. I’d respected his wishes. As the teacher on lunchroom duty, I had to walk around while trying not to bother the students eating and chatting, but I had to be vigilant and look out for anything suspicious. One time I’d caught a student distributing weed in the cafeteria. He’d been smart about it too. He’d hidden the stuff in bags of chips.
