Wakeup Call by Elsie James

He’s her former teacher and his heart is shattered. She’s never quite fit in anywhere but by his side.

Kendall:
Working as a librarian is my dream job. With my divorce finalized, I’m happier than I was. But still, it’d be nice to find someone I can connect with on an intellectual level. But for now, it’s one book boyfriend after the next.
When I run into my high school science teacher at our class reunion, he talks nerdy to me.
Declan is mature, brooding, and he has me putting my books on the shelf.
But can I convince him that there is more than one path to happily ever after?

Declan:
Attending a twenty-year high school reunion for my former students makes me feel old but it isn’t the hardest thing I’ve had to do in the last few years. Losing my wife and son has left a hole in my heart and I’m not sure it will ever go away. I’ve made a new life of routines and monotony but it doesn’t exactly feel normal.
When a former student buys me a drink, she has me questioning my self-control.
Kendall is innocent, sexy, and I want to teach her a lesson.
But am I keeping her from the life she deserves?
