Hands Like Ours

When Jackson realizes his attraction to his professor isn't just a phase, his carefully constructed world implodes—his girlfriend's gone, he's back under his dad's roof, and the man who sparked his awakening now treats him like a mistake. But Isaac Kendall is impossible to forget: brilliant, magnetic, and wrapped in the kind of dark secrets that make a small town like Viridian Falls endlessly hungry for scandal. As Jackson finds himself drawn deeper into Isaac's orbit, the line between mentorship and desire grows dangerously thin, and both men discover that some connections are too powerful to resist—even when the cost might be everything. This is a moody, atmospheric romance where chemistry sizzles beneath the surface and the past has a way of catching up when you least expect it.
