Nicole
Morgan, the new second grade teacher at Pineview Elementary school, has it all
together in the classroom; it’s her personal life that she can’t find peace
with. Unable to let go of the guilt that she is harboring from her past, she
punishes herself by running from all potential relationships.
Her
patience is put to the test when Dailan O’Maley the obnoxious but very sexy
uncle of one of her students enters her life. She slowly cracks away at
Dailan’s crude, crass exterior when they are forced to work together for the
sake of his nephew. The two of them learn a lesson in love that neither had
planned as they discover that the guilt they are hiding deep inside isn’t the
only thing they have in common. Unbeknownst to her, he holds more than just the
key to her heart.

The
waitress came over to take our order and I couldn’t help but notice Dailan
checking her out when she walked away. “You know that’s just wrong,” I
commented.
“What?” he
asked, clearly aware to what I was referring.
“The way
you look at women like they’re sex objects.”
He rolled
his eyes at me. “You know, I like that girl that I met at the bar that night
better than the uptight school teacher.”
“Good,
‘cause that girl that you met in the bar doesn’t exist,” I said.
“Oh I
betcha if that girl had a few drinks she would come back out,” he said with a
smirk.
I looked
over, forgetting that Ryan was even there. He was coloring the picture on the
back of his placemat, not paying any mind to the bantering going on between me
and his uncle. I picked up a crayon and began coloring with him in an effort
not to make any more conversation with his uncle. I finally looked up when I
could feel him staring at me.
“What?” I
asked in annoyance.
He was
laughing and trying to play innocent. I had to admit that he looked absolutely
adorable at that particular moment with his cute boyish grin.
“Why are
you staring at me?” I asked.
“Because I
think you’re hot,” he said as he chewed on his straw and his smile became even
wider. Ryan started to giggle, never taking his eyes from his coloring.
I pursed my
lips and shook my head. “What, are you twelve?” His only response was the
arrogant smirk that I had become so acquainted with over the past few months.
“You know what – why did I even agree to come out with you tonight? Oh
wait—that’s right, I didn’t agree, you just took it upon yourself to barge into
my classroom and demand that I go,” I said, not finding any humor in his
immature behavior.
“Do you
always take demands like that from a man, darlin’? If so, I think I need to get
you in the bedroom,” he said as he rubbed the scruff on his cheek.
I couldn’t
take his obnoxious behavior anymore. I shook my head and shot him a dirty look
before giving him a swift kick in the knee.
“Ouch, that
wasn’t very nice,” he said as he rubbed his knee under the table.
“Keep it up
and I’ll aim just a little higher.”
“Then that
would be your loss.”
“Oh, I’m
sure it wouldn’t be,” I snapped.
Ryan seemed
unfazed by it all as he continued to color. I realized now exactly where Ryan
got his colorful vocabulary - from the immature, arrogant male chauvinist
sitting across from me. Did I mention incredibly sexy as well?

~ About the Author ~
Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard.
My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I was born and have lived in New Jersey my whole life. I'm a mom of twin teenage boys, a teenage stepson, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of Calgon! I am married to a wonderful guy - but we'll keep that between us, I don't want him getting a big head!
"An Unplanned Life" the sequel/prequel to "An Unplanned Lesson" will be releasing on 11/7/13 and I already have a vested interest in the characters of my next novel "A Cry For Hope" releasing some time in 2014.....stay tuned for details!
