with ends come new beginnings. A new school, new students, and a new you, or at least that's what Ella Jacobs is hoping for. What better way to celebrate a fresh start than with her best friend, who is currently suffering from a fresh start she didn't ask for as well, on the beach, getting drunk on margaritas, and reading their coveted smut novels.

When Ella gets between a hot nerd and his frisbee on the beach, the vacation takes a turn for the smutty, that is, until their steamy night gets interrupted. Ella can't stop thinking about what would've happened if they hadn't been interrupted but chalks it up to a fond memory she'll have from her last night in Jamaica.

When she starts her first teacher prep day as the eighth grade Social Studies teacher for Valley Creek Middle School, she's ready to put the past behind her. That is, until she meets the Chemistry teacher across the hall, the same hot nerd, Liam, that she met on vacation.

After everything she went through at her last school, she swore she would never date a colleague, but when fate, and the school principal, keep intervening, will she be able to resist finishing what they started?
