Misconduct
by Penelope DouglasFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Bully and Corrupt comes a love story as forbidden as it is irresistible . . . Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past.

Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school.

And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton's resolve - and reveal what should stay hidden . . .
