Newly minted high school teacher Lily Cross is young, bubbly, and can't wait to put her fresh ideas into practice in the classroom. Her excitement is derailed after a disastrous run-in with a colleague. Lily didn't realize she'd have to win over her fellow teachers as well as her students, but that's okay. Lily's up to the challenge. Disillusioned Eva Thomas never imagined she'd wind up as a teacher in her hometown, or worse, suffer the boundless, puppy dog enthusiasm of a new colleague. Eva has no interest in making friends-or making nice. She just wants to survive her day and be left alone. That's easier said than done when Lily Cross has you in her sights. Their clashing arguments lead to sparks and then the impossible...attraction. But how can two such different people ever work?
