Flirty Little Secret

You've Got Mail meets Abbott Elementary in this sweet, sexy romantic comedy for fans of Lynn Painter and Lyssa Kay Adams.

School counselor Lucy Galindo has a secret.

To her coworkers, friends, and even family, she's shy, sweet, and constantly struggling to hold off disaster (read: manage her anxiety and depression). But online? She's bold, confident, and always knows what to say--it's how she's become the wildly popular @TheMissGuidedCounselor. It's also why she keeps her identity anonymous. Her followers would never trust the real Lucy with their problems.

History teacher Aldrich Fletcher thought a new job would give him some relief from his drama-filled family. Instead, he's dodging his ex-girlfriend and pining over his new co-worker--who only ever seems to see him at his worst. Thankfully, he can count on his online confidant for advice . . . until he discovers @TheMissGuidedCounselor is Lucy.

Now Fletcher has a secret too. And while Lucy can't deny there's something between them, she's not sure she can trust him. Can they both find the courage to share the truth and step out from behind their screens?
