The moment Elijah looks at the curvy waitress serving him, he knows he wants her—and he’s going to have her. This is the start of his new life, in a new town, and his chance to put all of his past behind him. But Mona Evans is not just any waitress in the diner. She’s a student, and after one night of being completely reckless with a stranger, she never expects to see him again. So imagine her shock when she learns that Elijah isn’t just a new guy in town—he’s her new gym teacher. Mona has never broken any rules before, but being with Elijah, it fills her with such need that she can’t say no. Even though it’s wrong, neither of them can deny their need for each other. Whatever is going on between them cannot last the year. Mona is determined to leave town the moment she graduates. But what will she do when Elijah gives her a proposition that she can’t refuse?

Myron I love Kate. For a long time, I’ve treated her as if she means nothing to me, and I know I’ve been wrong. I’ve had no choice but to push her away. You see, Kate is my stepsister. I shouldn’t want her. We’ve not grown up together, but still. My need for her is always there. Only now, I’m not going to do as I’m told anymore. I love her more than anything else in the world, and I know I’m the only one for her. She will be mine. Kate Coming home for the holidays is hard, but I’ve missed my family. I’m not going to let Myron get to me. I’m also not going to be like other women and fall all over myself over him. Sure, I’ve had a crush on him for years, but that doesn’t mean I have to act on it. He has made it clear we’re never going to be together, so why would I want him? Of course, I mean, he’s handsome, and every time he’s near, my heart flutters, and a need unlike anything I’ve ever experienced fills me, but that doesn’t mean I want him, does it?
