The last time Lauren Green saw Jamie Sultana, they were seventeen and he'd just shredded her heart.

Back then, Lauren was a frizzy-haired bookworm who dreamed of becoming the next Margaret Atwood. Jamie was the impossibly charming boy who thought Atwood was a type of cheese.

Twenty years later, Lauren is the vice principal of North Caulfield Primary. She's built a quiet, orderly life, burying her old heartache and writing aspirations under a stack of responsibilities.

So when she calls a meeting with notorious truant April Reidman's absent parents, the last person she expects to walk into her office is Jamie, still with those dazzling blue eyes. And as if things couldn't get any worse, he's acting like he has no idea who she is!

Steamy, funny and uplifting, Love Overdue is a bookish rom-com about first loves, second chances, and discovering how sometimes the best plot twists come along after you think the story's over.
