My Not So Fairytale Life

Fake-dating my hunky professor was not supposed to be part of my story. He's older. A single dad. The last person in this town I should fall for…

How I wanted the start of my science doctorate program to go:

1. I'd finally study the brain.

2. I'd no longer be a puppet in my parents' cosmetics company empire.

3. I'd date and get over my ex.

That was my vision. My plan. I journaled about it all summer. I vowed that for once, I'd become the heroine of my own fairytale. Those heartfelt scribblings didn't get me far, though. Rather than steer my future into bold new territory, I actually drove my hot neighbor's classic Cadillac into a cement barrier.

It was an accident, but Micah didn't see it that way—and he made that clear to the cops.

To avoid jail, I agreed to help him out and play the part of his girlfriend while his family's in town. That sounded harmless enough… until I arrived at my first neuroscience class and saw him standing at the front of the lecture hall: wild, wavy brown hair, dreamy eyes, athletic body and all.

Now, I'm stuck in a faux relationship with my professor. I spend my days getting butterflies during his office hours, swooning over his cooking abilities, and feeling protective of his adorable son.

Micah can't be my prince charming. He's over a decade older than me. He has major baggage. Plus, a relationship between us is strictly forbidden by school rules. I feel guilty riding in his car, let alone sipping merlot with him in his cozy home. When flirting leads to kisses, we both know the situation is dangerous.

I'm an A student, smart enough to hang with the other science geeks in my program. My head knows that this is wrong. My heart, however, hasn't gotten the memo…

So Not My Mr. Wright is a sweet and clean age-gap romance that includes all the heart-glowy, feel-good moments of falling in love without the steam. Expect rivalry-fueled banter, flirting that turns to forbidden love, and a happily-ever-after worthy of a princess and her horse-riding (or… vintage-car-driving) knight. Castle included!
