I was thrilled when I was offered a graduate teaching position at the prestigious Tennerson Girls Academy. At twenty-three, this would be my first ‘real’ teaching assignment. Working at the elite boarding school, home to the daughters of some of the wealthiest people in the world, was a great opportunity that I would’ve been stupid to pass up.
One week into my new job, and I suddenly had no idea why I chose high school…I was a seventeen year old boy once, I knew how teenage girls behaved.
You can’t even imagine the hell of trying to teach thirty, hormonal driven seventeen year olds who have been cooped up, away from any male contact.
I could handle the whispers every time I entered the room. I could even handle the obvious attempts at gaining my attention. What I couldn’t handle was her…
Rich bitches and way too many rules. Was it any wonder that I hated school?
Add to that the lack of male contact, and I was going insane. Like literally. I wasn’t used to this. A year ago I was normal. I had a boyfriend, friends and a loving family. There is nothing normal about me anymore, and nobody here lets me forget that.
My name is Wrenn, and I’m only here because my aunt took me in after what happened, but my aunt also happens to be the headmistress of this academy…Can you see my problem?
I’m hated for my lack of money, and I’m hated for who my Aunt is.
Then he arrived. Dalton Reed. My new history teacher.
Slowly, he helped me see that even in the worst situations, there is always hope.

I was given this book by author for honest review. {Slight spoiler} Dalton tries to survive the worry of his parents of an hereditary disease when he meets up with a little girl who gave him some advice “We’re all gonna get sick someday, right? So why do we need to worry about it now.” Now advance several years and Dalton is now a teacher for an all girls boarding school with Wrenn as his student. Wrenn has lost her family in an accident and is now focused on getting out and going to college. Can they overcome the obstacles ( his disease, ethical issues, jealous students ) in their path and find a way to be together and if they can is it worth it? Sweet romantic story touching on the effects of devastation that a tragedy and disease can have on individuals and families.
