First Intermission

Two weeks out of time

She was a professor. He was going to be her student — but not quite yet.

Gail Abbott, assistant professor of theater arts, had just had a hell of a week. She'd been stalked, threatened, and had a gun pulled on her. But through it all there was a wounded veteran with a play — and knowing eyes, a circle beard, and abs to die for.

But for two weeks, it was going to be a moment out of time. When he wasn't a student, and she wasn't a professor.

They were just two people who might be falling in love.

A bonus novella in the Small Town Secrets romantic suspense series for people who like their romances a bit steamier.
