Look Again

2022

He's the charming, bow-tie wearing theater teacher, and she's not falling for his act. Dexter Kaplan didn't plan to be a teacher, and certainly never saw himself back at his old prep school, Chamberlain Academy. But after the end of his Broadway run and his long-term relationship in the city, he settles for the theater coaching job. A guy’s got to eat. Joey Harker, professional photographer, needs a new career path. Like, yesterday. She loves her art, but circumstances out of her control are changing everything, inhibiting her ability to do the work she loves. She jumps at a position teaching photography at an upscale prep school way up in the mountains. She may lose her own artistic vision, but she can teach others to find theirs. It only takes one meeting for Joey to decide Dexter is the least likable person at Chamberlain Academy, and possibly the world, but she can’t avoid him when one meeting turns into dozens. And he can’t make any sense of her mixed signals. There’s a single arts chair position on the Chamberlain faculty council, and they can’t both have it. To earn the promotion, they have to show they can play well with others. Through their months of collaboration, they start seeing each other not only as rivals, but as possibilities. If they learn to look again, who knows what they will discover?

It's Chemical

2022

Ginger and Ty don't work. They tried it before, and they crashed and burned. But now they're dealing with powers far stronger than either of them: How can you fight the chemistry? Ginger Rogers (yes, she knows) has spent the last five years bricking up her wounded heart. She's found her place teaching chemistry at Chamberlain Academy, nurturing her plants, and writing online book reviews. Even opening up to let in a new friend has taken her way beyond her comfort zone, and she's living with a pretty constant vulnerability hangover. And just when she's feeling comfortable letting people back into her life, in walks Tyson Perry Miller. And, well, you know who he is. Ty, one of TV's hottest actors under thirty, award-winning heartthrob, and brainy PhD in chemistry, also happens to be Ginger's ex. And for reasons of accidental embezzlement (please don't ask, because he can't talk about it without his lawyer present), he's been sent to do a stint as a celebrity sub. Is that even a thing? Well, apparently it is at Chamberlain. He knew it would be a tough gig. But he didn't count on coming face to face with Ginger. Or the way seeing her would make him feel. They can't just fall back into the same relationship they used to have. It didn't take. They both got hurt. Badly. They would do better to simply walk away. But nobody managed to tell that to their hearts. Primal forces are at work here. It's not just attraction. It's Chemical.

Much Ado About Love

2022

He lives with his nose in a copy of Shakespeare's complete works. She lives in the real world, if the real world is a haunted library. Hank Grantham, Chamberlain Academy's favorite English teacher, has a secret. He's crazy about a woman he's only known online: a poet who sees right to the soul of things. There's no chance he's going to meet her, because she's firm about keeping things strictly professional. That doesn't stop him from memorizing her words, picturing her whispering them to him, and imagining what his world would be like if WoodSprite was here, in person. Since that's not going to happen, he can just adore her from a distance. This could be a perfect situation, if it weren't for the fact that he's also developing a mighty crush on Chamberlain's librarian, Desi Chappell. Desi knows that the best way to wreck a relationship is to mix work and love. That's what ruined her parents' marriage and left her mom with practically nothing, scraped raw and desperate to teach her daughter better. Desi learned, all right. And no matter how much her heart is leaning toward Hank Grantham, with his look of constant wonder and his charming British accent, she's stronger than her feelings of attraction. Besides, she knows what he doesn't—that the two of them are already deeply involved. Online. When Wanda Chamberlain recruits them for a family research project, Hank finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings for Desi professional. And Desi must remind herself, daily, hourly, that it's a terrible idea to get involved with someone at work. Can Hank choose between the woman he loves online and the one standing in front of him? Can Desi move past her very logical fears and tell Hank the truth?

It All Adds Up

2023

I had a great childhood, but I don't want to go back to it. Especially not the part where I snuck into dark hallways with my big brother's best friend. So, just my luck, my new job teaching yoga and meditation classes at Chamberlain Academy comes with a very familiar math teacher. But he didn't look like that when we were kids. And he's looking at me like he might have noticed one or two changes in me, as well. Too bad I'm not interested. I've got enough on my plate. New career. Managing my anxiety. General adulthood. But Nate Markham is making it difficult to stay focused... Definitely not interested. Not when he oversteps and overstays. Not when he takes me on amazing adventures. Not when he shows his new and fascinating softer side. Okay, so maybe just a little interested. But can we even consider a relationship when my brother (whom we both love) is so obviously against it? And if it's even an option, can we survive a very public humiliation? It All Adds Up is the fourth book in the Chamberlain Academy Rom-Com series, but, like the others, can be read as a standalone. Sweet romantic comedy, with all the swoons and all the kisses, and all the rest left up to your imagination.
