He’s the off-limits gym teacher, my biggest rival who stole my heart after a photo of us went viral. Now I wonder if our love is strong enough to survive the small-town talk of Magnolia.I promised myself I’d never mix work and love—especially not with Ethan Green, Magnolia High’s grumpy, rule-following basketball coach.He’s disciplined, frustrating, and completely off-limits.But when the principal forces us to share the gym—his for basketball, mine for theater rehearsals—sparks fly faster than a dropped microphone.Between clashing schedules, late-night practices, and a single impulsive kiss caught on camera, our lives get tangled in a way neither of us expected.The man who once called my students “distractions” now helps them paint sets, sneaks me coffee before class, and looks at me like I’m more than his rival.But Magnolia is a small town, and one viral photo can ruin everything we’ve worked for.Now I have to choose between protecting my job… or risking it all for the man I never meant to love.
