Lyrica and Derek move from their happy home in Ohio back to the place that brought Derek so much pain, when his older sister, Laura, calls for help. Lyrica and Derek were never used to being around a lot of people. So, understandably, they're a little overwhelmed when so many teenagers begin relying on them. //Hello!

(Completed) True love blossoms in adversity. Zara Kings just didn't expect it to happen with her favorite teacher. ... All throughout high school, Zara Kings only ever had one friend - her substitute teacher, Mr. Hugh Jackman. None of her peers ever gave her the time of day. She was too weird. Too awkward. However, Mr. Jackman saw straight through that when he became the permanent substitute in her P.E. class. He saw her for who she was - a mature and intelligent girl with academic goals she never shared with anyone. Not until him. Hugh took on the mantle of becoming her mentor. He encouraged her, supported her every endeavor, and had faith she would accomplish her goals and so much more. But, that was all it was - a purely platonic and professional relationship. And once she graduated, of course, they lost touch. Now, 10 years later, they unexpectedly reconnect at an entrepreneur convention. Except this time, Zara and Hugh are no longer student and teacher. They're both adults, and their past dynamic shifts into new territory. They must learn to navigate these new feelings and attraction, or surrender to the fear of what others might think when they learn of how they met.
