Hot for Headmonster (Hollow Hearth #4)
Tansy Applewood
I swear, I was just trying to run a wholesome summer camp for the magically gifted youth of Wren's Hollow. Canoes, crafts, minimal explosions. Then one of my campers started sneaking across the lake to meet a monster boy from Headmaster Dorian Haleburn’s prep school for Wilderkind. Now Mr. Tall, Grim, and Overly Buttoned is accusing me of causing an interspecies scandal.
He calls me reckless.
I call him repressed.
He files reports.
I hide the evidence.
And when he’s not lecturing me about professionalism, he’s on his tower balcony playing cello solos so low and desperate they slide right under my skin. It’s hot. I hate that it’s hot.
Now we’re stuck working together to keep two teenagers’ love story from becoming a diplomatic incident. He says it’s about rules. I say it’s about hearts. And somewhere between his lecture on “proper conduct” and the part where he growled my name like a confession, I stopped pretending I didn’t want him to ruin me.
Welcome to Camp Chaos—where love breaks curfew, monsters kiss like promises, and even the most disciplined Emberborne can’t survive a little flannel and defiance.
