âThe romantic longing, themes of bravery and confidence, and moments of cozy domesticity shine in this May-December romanceâ âPublishers Weekly
Summer Hemlock never meant to come back to Omen, Massachusetts...
But with his mother in need of help, Summer has no choice but to return to his hometown, take up a teaching residency at the elite Albin Academyâand work directly under the man who made his teenage years miserable.
Professor Fox Iseya.
Forbidding, aloof, commanding: psychology instructor Iseya is a cipher whoâs always fascinated and intimidated shy, anxious Summer. But that fascination turns into something more when the older man challenges Summer to be brave. What starts as a daily game to reward Summer with a kiss for every obstacle overcome turns passionate, and a professional relationship turns quickly personal.
Yet Iseyaâs walls of grief may be too high for someone like Summer to climbâŠuntil Summerâs infectious warmth shows Fox everything heâs been missing in life.
Now both men must be brave enough to trust each other, to take that leap.
To find the love theyâve always neededâŠ
Just like that.
