Harper Frost never meant to verbally nuke her teaching career in front of a room full of teenagers… but between her daydreaming, an evil overachiever, a smug assistant principal, and a lifetime of pent-up irritation, one spectacular meltdown later, she’s jobless, mortified, and stuck in a parking lot with a dead car battery and zero dignity. Enter Cass—the infuriatingly charming, maddeningly amused, rule-bending union rep who watched the implosion, enjoyed the show, and still seems ridiculously interested in her. With nothing left to lose except her pride, Harper crashes headfirst into an unexpected second chance at life, love, and maybe a little piracy of her own heart as she navigates unemployment, identity crises, hilariously disastrous decisions, and the possibility that the one man who saw her at her absolute worst might actually be the one worth staying for.
