Forgotten Fox (Shattered Pawns #1)

Riku:
I dislike living alone in an empty house, but unless something radical changes, I’ve resigned myself to lonely bachelorhood. No one has ever interested me, I didn’t even know I had a fancy to tickle, if you get my meaning. Then a detour through a less than savory neighborhood brings me across one of my own students. I can’t just leave him on the street, especially in this neighborhood, right?
Akira:
I haven’t had a home in two years, but I’m a survivor and nothing, not homelessness, not strict teachers, not even the inconvenient passenger I carry with me everywhere, will stand between me and a good life. I have a plan, I have the means, I will make my future a success. And this crush I have on my teacher? Well, I’ll figure out how to deal with it. That’s what I will keep telling myself, anyway.
Forgotten Fox is an MM, Age Gap, Student-Teacher, Paranormal Romance.
Triggers include: off-page, non-descriptive, past child abuse. This is a standalone, 45k word novella, but will be infinitely more interesting after reading Diviner’s Game Book 2: Knight to Castle Two because there are spoilers of that book in this one.
