I thought I'd be able to move on from him, but everything hits the fan when I see him at my dad's hockey practice. Did I also mention that he's my partner for a major project? Blake Wilder was certainly not a part of my plan.

Eight years ago, Adam Driscoll walked away from his stage name—Deke—and the boyband that turned him into an international star before his eighteenth birthday. And he never looked back.

Give him solitude over thousands of screaming fans any day of the week.

I have sinful thoughts about one of my students. Every night. I picture her in my bed. In my shower. Underneath me. Right up against the chalkboard. I'm especially fond of that one.

I know exactly what I'm going to do to her as soon as she walks into my office hours.

Arrogant. Repulsive. Cocky. With an ego almost as big as his… Well, you know. There is no length he wouldn't go to score. To be in control. To win.

Mateo Rojas is a force to be reckoned with. He's everything I should run from. He will be my ruin.
