Description

The golden boy who made my childhood miserable is all grown up… and my new boss.

Look, I didn’t run away from my prestigious teaching job. I just… needed a change… as a substitute teacher… in the podunk town I left fourteen years ago.

The cherry on top? The principal is Sawyer Strong, the boy whose relentless teasing would make me cry. And my boss is as good looking as someone dubbed the Prince of Blue Ridge ought to be. Broad chest, bulging biceps, a jawline to make marble statues weep.

I still hate him, and he’s everywhere in this town.

The only problem? I’m falling for the principal.

The Principal Problem is the first book in the Blue Ridge series, and can be read as a standalone. It’s for fans of high heat romances and anyone who loves a juicy history, messy heroines, heroes getting redemption, wrong-side-of-the-tracks dynamics, or a side of humor. There are plenty of steamy scenes and, as always, an HEA. Intended for adult readers.
