Summary

Lila Brooks has spent years in Room 207 grading essays, coaxing reluctant readers, and keeping her heart out of reach. So when the school’s new principal turns out to be Noah Hart, the former class clown who once tested every ounce of her patience, she’s forced to face a past she thought was long gone.
 
Noah never imagined he’d return to his hometown, much less run the school he once disrupted. But stepping into leadership means reviving programs that had been forgotten including one of Lila’s old ideas. Suddenly, the woman he once teased feels like the colleague he can’t stop admiring.
 
As they work together to help a struggling student whose anonymous essay reveals more than grades ever could, their professional lines blur. Old trust begins to mend, and something new edges its way in. Lila must decide if she’s ready to rewrite more than her lesson plans maybe her own future.
 
Can a teacher and her onetime class clown find a story worth writing together?
 
***
 
Like every story in Hearts in Uniform, theirs proves that courage isn’t only found on duty it’s found in opening the heart.
 
In every town, there are quiet heroes people who rise early, stay late, and give more than they take. Hearts in Uniform is a clean romance series honoring those who serve with strength, compassion, and quiet courage on duty and at home.
 
From firefighters facing flames to school counselors guiding children, each story highlights everyday champions who make their communities safer and kinder. These are not tales of perfection but of resilience, humor, and the risk it takes to open a guarded heart.
 
Set in small towns and close-knit neighborhoods, each standalone romance introduces a new hero and heroine brought together in unexpected ways. Saving lives, delivering letters, tending strays, restoring trust love often arrives in the middle of service and sacrifice.
 
Hearts in Uniform offers slow-burn connection, witty banter, and clean, swoon-worthy endings. One brave love story at a time.

    The Red House: home to the damaged genius of the late M. H. Mason, master taxidermist and puppeteer, where he lived and created some of his most disturbing works. The building and its treasure trove of antiques is long forgotten, but the time has come for his creations to rise from the darkness.Catherine Howard can't believe her luck when she's invited to value the contents of the house. When she first sees the elaborate displays of posed, costumed and preserved animals and macabre puppets, she's both thrilled and terrified. It's an opportunity to die for.But the Red House has secrets, secrets as dreadful and dark as those from Catherine's own past. At night the building comes alive with noises and movements: footsteps, and the fleeting glimpses of small shadows on the stairs. And soon the barriers between reality, sanity and nightmare begin to collapse . . .'Adam Nevill is a fantastic storyteller, a master of slow-building tension, and he's written a fever dream of a book. House of Small Shadows is chilling, disorienting and deeply creepy' – Scott Smith, author of The Ruins

    The Gap in the Curtain by John Buchan is a thought-provoking blend of speculative fiction and social commentary. The story revolves around five men who, through an experiment orchestrated by a visionary scientist, glimpse one year into their future via a newspaper headline. Each man reacts differently to the knowledge: some seek to alter destiny, others succumb to despair, and a few embrace their fate. Buchan explores themes of free will, determinism, and the ethical dilemmas of foresight, while critiquing political and societal trends of his time. As the characters navigate personal ambitions and moral choices, the novel delves into the tension between individual agency and collective responsibility. A compelling mix of philosophy and intrigue, The Gap in the Curtain challenges readers to reflect on how foreknowledge shapes human behavior and the fragile balance between hope and hubris.
