Bell Time

Beating Michael to the promotion was the plan. Not falling for him.It's the start of the school year, and I'm perfectly content in my ex-corridor classroom covered in cat posters, drinking my weight in tea, and running my beloved creative writing club. But then Michael struts into the department—grumpy, ambitious, and clearly gunning to be my boss. That's when I decide it's time to step up—for the sake of inclusive education, workplace justice, and every Little Miss Sunshine mug in the staffroom.Now I'm wrangling a chaotic boys' class, organising a school trip that could end in disaster, and trying to survive a surprise inspection… all while pretending not to notice the increasingly inconvenient chemistry between me and Michael.Love? Nowhere on the lesson plan. But if I can prove I deserve the job, keep my sanity intact, and maybe—just maybe—get the chauvinist Head to finally take me seriously, there might be something waiting on the other side of all this… including a future with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall for.Bell Time is a clean, contemporary romance with sizzling chemistry but only kisses, perfect for fans of Kortney Keisel, Cindy Steel and Martha Keyes.
