Life has never been easy for Knox Farrell. After the death of his mother, he takes on the responsibility of raising his two younger brothers while searching for the one that ran away. Not an ideal life choice for Knox, but he couldn't ask for more, that is until he meets Ellison Wyatt. Ellison has a strict rule, never date a student's family member, but all that changed when he met Knox. Now all he can think about is the man, but what his brain is telling him to do is at war with his heart's desires. What is a teacher to do? Knox feels like he's spent his entire life fighting for one thing or another, and when it comes between choosing the family he's built with Ellison or searching for his runaway brother, he must decide what's more important, the family who's left you behind or the one that's there to help pick up the pieces?
