For most of her life, Eleanor Bailey has managed her emotions like a pro. Hence becoming a psychologist and helping other people manage theirs. But even the best professionals lose their cool from time to time. And it seems the time for Ellie, is now. Ellie is experiencing what some might call a mid-life crisis. It seems being left at the altar and having to move back in with your sister can do that to a person. Not to mention having to take a job she considers demeaning to her academic abilities. Becoming Glendale High School's new guidance counselor sounds less than ideal, especially when she's just as irrationally grumpy and moody as the teenagers she has to meet with. Her plan? Just do the job and get back to her old life. The old life where she struggles with anger issues and has no real friends? Seems like a good plan. Except for the fact that Glendale is irresistible. The lovable faculty, the quirky students, and the insanely attractive new boss, Benny. Ellie quickly finds her plans thwarted as they weasel their way into her heart with force. Caring deeply for the school and the people in it becomes inevitable. As for Benny? He's just your all-around good guy, with a pretty smile, and a pet cat. And he can't seem to get enough of Ellie. The chemistry between them is undeniable and the thought of being more than coworkers is an appealing one. But there's just one problem, it's against the rules. So what do they do? Will Ellie and Benny risk everything they've worked for to give love a chance? Or will fear of breaking the rules ruin everything and send Ellie running back to her old life?
