When grad student Jackson Greene starts his job as a college teaching assistant, the last person he expects to work for is the man who broke his heart six years ago. Jackson has moved on since then. Of course he has. But when he looks into the older man's eyes, all the familiar pain and desire rush back in.
integrity: noun. the state of being whole and undiminished.
Visiting professor Matthew Smith has never forgotten the shame of how he ended their previous affair, nor has he recovered from the guilt of daring to love a student. Jackson is still as vibrant and beautiful as he was when Matt first fell in love with him. Now they're peers. Colleagues. And they work together just as well as they always used to - better, even. Could there be more?
They both know that mere friendship isn't enough to heal their wounds, but a love affair is just as illicit now as it was then. The threat of scandal means that both of their careers are on the line - but is a second chance at happiness worth the risk of exposure?
