  The Lady Doth Protest Too Much
  
  Jessica Martin is determined to earn a permanent teaching position at Summit High School. That means hard work, dedication, and even volunteering extra time to direct the school's Shakespeare play. Which leaves no room for romance -- especially with a co-worker. She didn't factor in the school's sexy security officer and the delicious fantasies he inspires.
  
  Too Much Of A Good Thing
  
  Former cop Tom Cameron likes his job. Or he did, until the new substitute busted his orderly life right open. Now, he can't seem to avoid her -- deserted hallways, empty theaters, classrooms after dark -- but he's got too many skeletons in his closet to risk his heart again. Asking her out to distract her from the play's, well, drama is a friendly gesture. Nothing more.
  
  The Course Of True Love Never Did Run Smooth
  
  Their chemistry could melt down the science lab, and before long they're burning up the sheets off-campus. And uncovering raw emotions -- a stark reminder that love isn't in their curricula. When a troubled student goes over the edge, though, the need to stop a tragedy brings them right back where they started -- face to face with fate.
