Breaking the rules is strictly off-limits, especially when it comes to dating shifters. Yet, there's an exception for this captivating single dad – I'm ready to challenge my own boundaries. In the classroom, I maintain a strict code. Out beyond those walls, my rule is non-negotiable: no relationships with shifter parents, like Bratt, whose mesmerizing strength draws my gaze despite my better judgment. As someone who has lived through a time when humans and shifters were strictly forbidden, I know the consequences too well. Risking my job by dating a student's parent isn't just a possibility; it's a real concern. And then there's the haunting memory of a past mistake, one that nearly destroyed my life. If word got out about that fateful encounter, rejection might follow me wherever I go. My heart whispers that Bratt is different, but the forces working against our connection won't hesitate to intervene. Temptation calls, but I must weigh the risks and the forces determined to keep us apart.
