Love has a steep learning curve.

Assistant high school principal Blake Barnes has everything he wants--a chance to help troubled students and an outlet for his passion for theater. Well, almost everything--he still goes home to an empty apartment. Then his high school crush explodes back into his life, the unexpected guardian of two boys in Blake's care.

Thane Dalton has always been a bad boy through and through. Not much has changed, including his mistrust of authority figures, and no amount of institutional bureaucracy will keep him from protecting his nephews from the bullies terrorizing them. If that means butting heads with Blake, so be it.

Blake and Thane have lessons to learn: that they both have the boys' best interests at heart, that the tension between them isn't just confrontational, and that sparks can fly when opposites come together.
