Keep your friends close and your frenemies closer.

I knew the moment I saw him at the front of the classroom I was in hell, because Dashiel “Dash” Hampton was the devil. Even if I didn’t need the class to graduate, there was no way I could drop it.

I couldn’t give him the satisfaction.

Besides, we’ve been enemies for years…
one semester with him as my T.A. wouldn’t kill me.

Sometimes you have to lose to win.

The long and short of it: I was f***ed.

The last person I expected to see walk into my classroom was the one woman I’ve wanted for as long as I could remember.

It was just too bad she was the only woman
who never wanted me back.

Now that she’s my student, I know that’s one line I can’t cross
…no matter how much I want to.
