Title and Cover Coming Soon

He's been in love with her for years. She's decided to find him a girlfriend.

High school English teacher Emma Woodhouse is perfectly fine on her own, thank you — which is exactly the problem, because lately she can't stop noticing her coworker's forearms. The obvious fix is to find Edward a girlfriend and get her own head back on straight. She doesn't get that far. She turns up on his doorstep at dawn to ruin his Saturday out of spite, and he buys her breakfast, then a bookstore, then a movie — an entire day assembled out of things she usually does alone. Weeks later he kisses her at a costume party, and she has two weeks to come clean to her best friend, with rules pulled from the spicy romance novels on her Kindle, the ones he's been quietly reading. After that he stops waiting for an invitation: a movie on his couch, a Sunday morning run she has never once run with anyone. It works. And then his mother does the math on twelve years, and Emma — who has never stayed anywhere long enough to be left — leaves first.

A laugh-out-loud Austen retelling from Cara Ashe, about a woman who can see everyone's heart but her own, the man who's been across the hallway the whole time, and the lovable, deeply annoying students who refuse to let either of them give up.
