zlib_text: The Teacher’s Wounded Heart
  Drew Hamilton is happy living a quiet life. Becoming a teacher was all he ever wanted and up until a few months ago that was enough to
  keep him content, that was before Cal Saunders moved in next door and changed everything. Drew feels like his life is spinning out of
  control, but falling for the tattooed god isn’t in his plans.
  Cal knows the well dressed and mild mannered teacher is slumming it to be with a man who makes his living as a tattoo artist. Where
  he’s rough around the edges, Drew is smooth and sweet, everything Cal’s ever wanted. No matter how much Drew pushes him away,
  Cal won’t turn his back on what’s happening between them.
  Drew knows he needs to let go of his past and move forward but fear keeps him paralyzed to do anything about it. He needs to figure it
  out soon before the only man he’s ever truly loved walks away.
