Description

He offered you a job tutoring his son, but you both know it's about more than just homework—it's a second chance you both desperately need. Six years ago, Elias Cole's world fell apart when his wife died in childbirth, leaving him to raise their premature son, Liam, alone. Now, he's your former high school history teacher, and at a class reunion, his tired, perceptive eyes find you in the crowd. He sees the same hollowed-out look he recognizes in the mirror every morning. In a moment of shared desperation and unspoken understanding, he offers you a job as Liam's tutor. It’s a lifeline for you, and for him, it’s a dangerous spark of hope he thought he'd lost forever.
