Some lessons can't be taught in the classroom. When I walk into a wall of hard pecs and abs named Dr. Alexander Pierce, the nationally acclaimed psychologist speaking at the conference I'm attending, I quickly learn he thinks he knows it all-but he's wrong-and rude.

His superiority complex put me on the defensive, and that's when my big mouth got me into trouble. I had lessons that needed to be learned both in and outside the classroom, and after watching the good doctor strut around the auditorium, I wouldn't mind a personal one from him. And maybe a few to help my students.

Life has dealt me many curveballs, and I've tackled each problem to the best of my ability. Why, then, did they keep coming back with a vengeance? I'm a seventh-grade English teacher, and thanks to my principal, I am now the liaison to the school board's new consultant. When would my troubles ever end?

This is a cliffhanger. The story concludes with Making Perfect Sense, The third book in the Perfect Series.
