The Roads Left Behind Us
Kat Jackson

If Callie were to entertain the idea of dating, she's certain it would be with someone vibrant, open, and around her age. In other words: definitely not someone like Dr. Kate Jory, a new member of Pennbrook College's English department. She's intimidating, older, and a seemingly closed book. But she's also brilliant and fascinating, and Callie is drawn to her in ways she'd never imagined possible.
Not that Kate notices. Or does she? Callie can't tell, and though they develop an engaging, flirtatious friendship, she struggles to work up the courage to put herself directly in Kate's potentially romantic path, wary of the type of fire their sparks could ignite.
