Class Act by Gianni Holmes
From USA Today Bestselling Author Gianni Holmes comes a new heartfelt, steamy, forbidden, teacher-student romance.
Abe Cooper is a triple threat.
He’s my best friend’s father.
He’s the football coach at my high school.
And he’s a married man
His marriage is on the rocks and he could lose his job for the way he looks at me.
I could lose my only friend in the world.
I know I should stay away instead of flirting with him.
But all the cons don’t outweigh how I feel when I’m with him.
When my home situation gets worse, Abe is there for me. But what we do under his roof when everyone’s asleep makes me feel guilty.
Now his daughter, my closest friend, knows he’s stepping outside his marriage and she’s hellbent to find out who I am.
How long can we keep us a secret and how dare we be happy together when it might hurt the ones we love?

I made my way over to Emery.
“It’s none of your business,” he said.
“How do you figure? By law, I’m required to report any suspected abuse of a student.”
He scoffed. “If that’s the reason you’d report it, don’t bother. I’m an adult anyway. There’s not much CPS can do for me, so I’m on my own.”
“You’re not on your own. Mandy cares about you.”
“Do you?”
I sucked in a deep breath. “Emery.”
“You shouldn’t get involved, Coach.” He dropped his voice. “It’s a terrible idea.”
“Like it or not, I’m already involved. I can’t stand aside and let him continue to abuse you.”
“What can you do about it?”
“Make sure he never touches you again.”
He laughed, but the sound cut off with a grunt of pain, and he gripped his side. “You have Mandy. Please go.”
“I’m not leaving you here. From the looks of you, we need to get you to a hospital so they can check up on your ribs.”
“My ribs are fine.”
“Let the doctors be the judge of that. Now come with me, so I can take you to the emergency room.”
“Then will you leave me alone?”
“Then you’ll stay with us for tonight and tomorrow just like Mandy suggested.”
He shook his head. “I can’t.”
“And why the hell not?”
Our eyes connected, and Emery caught his bottom lip between his teeth. “You know.”
If only I could say I didn’t know a damn thing.
“I’m just a concerned teacher, helping my daughter’s best friend.”
“Good for you.” He frowned. “And I’m just a boy who’s never been loved before, and I think you could love me the way I want to be.”
I froze, shock rooting my feet in place. Neither of us was stupid enough to deny the sexual undercurrent between us, but I sure as hell wouldn’t have mentioned it. I was an adult with a sense of right and wrong, and what he was suggesting was wrong on so many levels.
I never expected Emery to be this bold.
