Check Your Work

One month. No feelings. They've totally got this fake dating thing under control.Bisexual ex-barista Oliver is finally a high school math teacher, and it's everything he ever wanted. Until he stumbles across the mysterious customer he crushed on back when he worked at Knockdown Coffee... and kinda sorta accidentally tells his Vice Principal that he's dating her. Maybe his emotional baggage from his student teaching position isn’t as neatly stowed as he thought, or he wouldn’t have panicked and lied. Now what?Octavia, a bi programmer, didn't expect to run into the cute blue-haired barista again. Certainly not while volunteering at a local arts high school. He's much too young and much too nice for her—but when she discovers he's told people they're dating, it's a stroke of luck. She needs a temporary fake relationship to stick it to her professional nemesis, and Oliver's the perfect fit.The assignment is simple: he helps her out, she covers for him. Just one month of a convincing charade, and then after Octavia’s company gala, everything between them is absolutely and completely over.Sometimes, however, the homework is harder than you expect.CHECK YOUR WORK is a slow burn to high heat, age gap, bi4bi queer M/F romance novel about a misanthropic older heroine and a cinnamon roll hero who both find out that sometimes, the perfect person for you is totally different than you could have imagined.
