TW: Spousal abuse, past self-harm

.

.

She's fought for independence for herself and her boys. Can she ever rely on a man again?

Thea Fielding just wants to fulfil her lifelong dream of becoming a teacher, and to be a better single mom to her two boys. After his wife and coworker cheated on him, Liam McConnell had to leave the teaching job he loved, and is only just clawing back his career.

Neither want to get involved again after their disastrous marriages, but from the moment they meet at an evening class, they can't take their eyes off each other. To make things worse, Thea begins hosting a study group and the other members invite Liam.

To cover their growing attraction, Thea and Liam are snarky to each other as often as possible. How long can they resist what everyone knows will happen? Can they get past their own histories to build a life together? And what happens when Thea's ex shows up to take back his family?
