Cheryl Munro is determined to become a full-fledged teacher and put her years stripping at the Pink Pussycat behind her. She has one last semester of student teaching, and then she can hang up her stilettos and put her messy past behind her. She's laser focused—until she walks into her new classroom and meets her sexy mentor.

From the moment Cheryl enters Jason Shaw's classroom, he has to remind himself she's off-limits—at least until the semester is over. But there's no rule about being friends, and soon the two of them are spending time together after hours, doing their best to ignore their off-the-charts chemistry.

Cheryl hasn't told Jason about her side hustle, and she's not going to. People have been looking at her like she's trash her whole life, and she can't risk seeing it on his face, too. But the truth always reveals itself. She ought to have known that better than anyone.
