The Valentine's Date Mistake
She understands numbers. But love refuses to follow the rules.
Melissa Jackson is an Alvin High math teacher who thrives on logic, structure, and control—none of which apply when it comes to Landon Calloway, the history teacher. So when the principal deliberately assigns them to co-plan the sophomore Valentine’s dance, it’s not a coincidence. It’s an intervention. He clearly thinks forcing them together will fix whatever is wrong between them. Melissa knows better. Landon is infuriating, arrogant, and far too good at getting under her skin. And now she’s stuck working beside him. With Valentine’s Day looming, Melissa refuses to show up alone—and her friend Prissy makes sure she doesn’t have time to overthink it.
But nothing about Landon Calloway fits into Melissa’s carefully ordered life. Because somewhere between arguing over every detail of the dance and clashing over everything else, something shifts. Something neither of them planned for. Landon is still impossible. Still frustrating. Still entirely wrong for her carefully ordered life. But he also shows up. He listens. And slowly, Melissa starts to realize the difference between being challenged—and being truly seen. Falling for him was never part of the equation. And neither of them are ready for what happens if they don’t stop getting closer.
A clean, swoony enemies-to-lovers romance about unexpected connection, reluctant trust, and the kind of love that refuses to stay calculated.
