Hotter Than a Hayloft in July

Sable Fitzhugh came home to bury a husband and pay his debts. She did not come home to teach alongside the man who broke her heart at nineteen. But the dorm is full, the barn loft is available, and Dodge Harlow is fifty-four, patient, and still leaving the porch light on. They share an office. They share a truck. They spend one thunderstorm night in a hayloft and twenty years of not-saying-anything finally gives way. He has a reason. She has a right to hear it. A sizzling hot age gap academy romance about a woman who came home to survive and stayed to be wanted.
