Life at the Citadel had become almost routine for Emerson. Though she wasn't afforded the biological advantages many of her peers had, she had managed to climb the ranks throughout her five years, all the way to a respected captain, in charge of an entire team of soldiers. Day in, day out-her life blurs into an endless montage of skipped classes, running missions with her team, and nights spent awake. It's comfortable.
That is - until a mysterious girl throws everything Emerson knows into chaos.

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over.
