Bad things in my life seem to come in threes. I thought waking up in the middle of my teacher-summer-vacation to the pipes of my house bursting was bad. I thought that finding out our middle school would be absorbing the students and staff of another, whose foundation was deemed unsafe, was worse. But not even in the wildest plots to my best-selling romance novels could I have imagined the final blow–the one that came in the shape of the man who broke my heart.

Anthony Ellis and I have known each other since our mommas raised us in the same townhouse. It wasn’t until two years ago that we got to know each other heart and soul. After our vacation straight out of a movie, he disappeared from my life, only to drop back into it in the most invasive of ways. Not only will I be teaching with him this year, but I’ll be living with him as well.

Balancing my day job teaching eighth grade and my secret life as a best-selling romance author puts enough on my plate. Now, along with the contract of a lifetime–one that could change the foundation of my life’s path–I also have to cope with the fact that my broken heart is sharing all of its space with the man who crushed it. And even worse? He’s doing his absolute best to pick up all of our pieces.

I have a decision to make: What chapters of my life do I need to close, and which will I be brave enough to write?
