A charming billionaire single dad. A teacher with commitment issues. Can a failed one-night stand lead to a lasting relationship?

The rules are as follows: no backstory, no intimacy.

I've never wanted to break them... Until her.

I work a job I never would've chosen to cover my sister's medical bills. I stick to my rules to not blur the lines between reality and fantasy.

Then a reluctant client walks into my life and changes everything but she slips through my fingers...

Three years, one staggering inheritance and adoption later, I walk into my daughter's classroom and the woman I worked hard to forget stares at me wide-eyed.

Chemistry sizzles between us.

This time, I won't allow her to get away.

This time, she's mine... whether or not she's ready.
