John Wilder Gets Schooled

John Wilder is a full-time roofer, a part-time stripper, and the world's greatest dad. Okay, so that last one is a work in progress, but Wilder is doing his best—it's just that between working two jobs and parenting, he's struggling, and Gracie's grandparents are just waiting for him to fail. Getting off on the wrong foot with Gracie's disapproving kindergarten teacher is the last thing he needs. But Wilder is determined to ace this parenting thing and wipe the judgmental look off Avery Smith's cute, kissable face—wait, what? Avery Smith is in his first year of teaching, and he's already got a problem parent. Exhibit A, John Wilder. He turns up late, forgets to bring his daughter snacks, and is less reliable than every one of Avery's five-year-old students. But Avery soon discovers that there's more to Wilder's situation than meets the eye, and he finds himself drawn to the attractive single dad. Except Avery has one hard and fast rule—no crushing on the straight dads, no matter how tempting. And Wilder is_ _straight, right? Turns out Wilder is about to learn a lot of things about himself, and Avery is the perfect teacher. Welcome to Goose Run, a small town full of quirky characters, big personalities, and unexpected romances. Just don't ask about the goose.
