She wished for a man to get excited about. One that would send butterflies fluttering in her stomach. What she should have asked for was a smooth start to the school year. Within fifteen minutes of the first day of school, everyone has to be evacuated to the football field because of her class. Mortified and discouraged, Delilah now faces an entire semester worth of lunch detentions for herself and her rowdy students unless they can create an impressive project for the Fall Festival. Talk about pressure.   Part-time fireman and full-time barista at his own coffee stand, Bradley Lachlan, has been considering leaving Clifton for good to find a full-time firefighter position elsewhere. That is until he's called to the middle school to inspect a classroom fire. The young teacher, who is obviously shaken by the experience, captures his attention. He's more than a little thrilled when she shows up at The Coffee Shack drive-thru the next day. Wooing her with his delicious autumn inspired lattes, Bradley and Delilah enjoy everything the fall season has to offer. When pressed about their budding relationship by her inquisitive eighth graders, Delilah's glib reply leaves Bradley a bit shell shocked. He leaves town and Delilah is panicked that she just alienated the man of her dreams. Can she save her professional reputation, and her relationship, or is everything going up in smoke? This is a stand alone novel, and the first in the School Belles Sweet Romance Series. ***This is NOT a student/teacher romance*** less
