Alli Baxter starts her first year teaching kindergarten with clear boundaries. She won't get involved with anyone, certainly not Derrick, a married man juggling a demanding wife and an adorable daughter. But their attraction proves stronger than their resolve. The affair that follows changes everything. When Alli discovers she's pregnant, she knows Derrick is the father. The timing couldn't be worse. His wife is also expecting, and Derrick refuses to abandon his marriage vows despite their crumbling relationship. His feelings for Alli accelerate his marriage's collapse, but by the time he's free to choose love over duty, Alli has moved on. She's accepted his best friend's proposal and plans to marry soon. Derrick must decide if fighting for Alli is worth destroying a friendship and disrupting her new happiness.
