One is a 29-year-old teacher, and one is his student’s 46-year-old single stepdad. Their romance? Not planned, not allowed, and not resistible.Two years ago, Jamie Henry went on a pilgrimage that changed his the Camino de Santiago, in Portugal and Spain. He thought that on that hike, he would reconnect with his ex-fiancé, Elliott, but ended up realizing that happiness couldn’t come from choosing, or being chosen by, another person.
Now, Jamie works as a high school English and French teacher in New Orleans. He loves his new life; he just hasn’t found someone to share it with.
Ethan Kenworthy’s life hasn’t gone according to his plan, but he’s certainly not complaining. He’s gotten the best gift life could offer his stepdaughter Chloe, whom he loves like his own.
When Ethan agrees to fill in as a last-minute chaperone on the senior trip Jamie is leading to France, the two men find themselves thrown together in an unexpected connection.
Between wrangling teenagers, trying not to lose passports, and teaching meaningful lessons about French history and modern politics, Jamie and Ethan find themselves increasingly drawn to each other. But they can never pursue that, right? Teacher and parent--not only is it cliché, but it’s taboo. But some things, as problematic as they are, as foreign as they might seem, might just be right.
