A Novel Thing: Christian Romance (Second Chance Teacher Romance) by Marlisa Kriscott

She walked away from the classroom—and from him. But fate just added both back to her syllabus. Kate Sutherland thought she'd left heartbreak and chalkboards behind. But when a last-minute teaching job drops her into the whirlwind halls of Central High, she doesn’t just find chaos and curriculum—she finds Nick Patel, the man who shattered her heart and disappeared like a ghost. Now he’s her colleague. Still maddening. Still magnetic. As lesson plans and memories collide, Kate must navigate awkward staff meetings, meddling coworkers with too much time on their hands, and the temptation to rewrite a love story she thought was over. Nick has his own regrets—and one shot at making things right. But forgiveness isn’t on the exam, and neither is falling for him all over again. Set in a school full of laughter, heart, and second chances, A Novel Thing is a poignant, feel-good romance about healing old wounds, daring to love again, and discovering that sometimes the best chapters come at the very end.
