It's implausible, yet possible.  That's how I would sum up virtually every aspect of the plot of this book which starts off like a smoldering fireplace blaze and turns into a non-stop conflagration of lust, deception, and ultimately totally shocking conclusions.Mercy Celeste has done it again, and as usual she doesn't take "no" for an answer.  She throws her seemingly straightforward and focused characters--high school teacher Grey Talbot and one of his "students," Paul Gaines--into situations they cannot possibly understand and live with, and you say "No, please don't do that, please don't let this happen!"  Then she does let it happen, and just goes on from there to grab you by the throat, heart, and libido until a shocking denouement leads to a completely unexpected (no spoilers) ending.This book could not possibly become a series.  Or, could it?  Please, Mercy, don't say "No!"
