Substitute Sweetheart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781649174222)

Buttoned-up college professor Victoria Park attends her brother's small-town wedding and indulges in a harmless flirtation with the charming and good-looking groomsman, Andrew Zimmerman. She never expected to see him again after the reception, but when Victoria is unexpectedly fired from her job, her pushy new sister-in-law recruits her as the temporary fill-in principal for the local elementary school. The unfamiliar world of tiny children and nosy employees throws Victoria for a loop, especially when she learns the beloved music teacher is none other than Andrew.

Andrew battles his disappointment when he finds the fun, attractive woman he met at the wedding has turned into a humorless, overbearing boss. He's tempted to let her flounder through the social minefields of small-town living, but there's something about Victoria that keeps him riding to her rescue. When inflammatory graffiti involving Victoria is left on the school wall, Andrew and she must work together to find the vandal and stop the ensuing gossip. The conflict draws them closer together, but will their newfound relationship hold strong when the school year ends and it's time for Victoria to return to the big-city life?
