High school literature teacher Grace Berry is an expert on Shakespearean love, but she knows almost nothing about real-life romance. She has no time to learn either, as she’s busy battling overbearing parents, a bullying principal, and a stubborn father.
Then she suddenly finds out that award-winning author Lincoln Atwood is coming to take over her classes. No way will she surrender her authority to a hotshot male writer who doesn’t know the first thing about poetry. Even if he is sinfully sexy.
After making a deal with his estranged brother, Lincoln is forced to stay in Bliss Cove for over a month. He’d much rather be racing sled dogs or mountain biking, so why not take a teaching gig to kill the time?
But Lincoln’s belief that teaching will be “easy” is quickly proven wrong after he confronts the intriguing Grace with her embroidered sweaters and spine of steel. And when he learns about the sizable gap in Grace’s education, the plot thickens considerably.

Grace blew out her breath in an exasperated sigh. “I’m busy, all right? I don’t have time for a relationship.”
“Bullshit.”
“Lincoln! My classes and drama club take up a lot of time, I’m prepping for summer school, and I have to help my father.”
“Your father doesn’t need your help.”
Her eyes hardened. “You don’t know him. Or me, for that matter. You certainly have no business questioning my love life.”
“Given the way you kissed me the other night, yes I do,” he snapped.
She pressed her lips together, her flush deepening. “You made it quite clear you’re not interested.”
“That’s not what I was doing!” He turned abruptly, spreading his arms out. “The problem is that I’m too fucking interested. You’re damned right I’m fixated on you, and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve wanted you from the second I saw you sitting at the diner, I can’t stop staring at you in class, and all I want to do is kiss you again. Hell, half the time I can’t even think about anything except how much I want to touch you. If I had any intention of staying here, I—”
