"For soon your soulmate will find you, and you will find yourself in ruin," prophesied the mysterious blind man, Mr. Mirai. Cal has never forgotten. Years later, Selena Osorio - the bright, assertive high school senior - finds herself drawn to 39-year-old Liam "Cal" Callahan, a charismatic English teacher at her former high school. After Cal fails to hide his own newly discovered feelings for Selena, the risks of their "arrangement" could shatter families, careers, and reputations. Stakes mount under the suspicions of Cal's top administrators, Principal Rick Lincoln and Superintendent Brant Beckett. Navigating the treacherous waters of this picturesque Illinois River Valley community, Selena and Cal must also keep their secret hidden from those closest to them. Demi, Selena's unsuspecting mother who works in Cal's school district. Leonard, Selena's possessive boyfriend. Lilith, Cal's beautiful, volatile wife. Dangerous rumors soon float on the wind, causing Welles County State's Attorney Samuel Hathorne to investigate charges of sexual predation. Special Investigators Janine Hathcock and Hunter Cruz move in, and the impending legal storm threatens to lock Cal behind bars, pinning him as the poster-boy for Hathorne's political campaign. After all, it is an election year. Selena is a fighter determined to keep Cal from incarceration, but can these two rebels defy the daunting odds and justify their taboo relationship? "No, Cal. . . we won't be trying to make a statement. . . we can just keep it quiet. Between us. . . like a whisper."
