關於本電子書

Welcome to The Educators, a riveting contemporary romance series about today’s schools by NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Kathryn Shay. Veteran teacher Shay returns to one of her favorite settings and vividly portrays the teachers, administrators and students of Crystal Corners High School. As is her trademark, sizzling romances are back-dropped by controversial, complicated and sometimes dangerous situations.
"Kathryn Shay clearly has lived the life of a teacher--a good teacher! As a former teacher myself, I loved the insights the young female lead character in MAYBE THIS TIME had regarding her students, and the way teaching was her life, not just her job. And the love scenes burned with excitement! Great job Ms. Shay!!" A Reader

In MAYBE THIS TIME, Delaney Dawson, a good teacher, has just been transferred to the high school. Her lessons are innovative, she participates in school activities and her students love her. But when she hooks up with the Gage Grayson, the father of a girl she has in class, a myriad of problems occur. At first, the two adults don’t know of their connection through Stephanie. And Stephanie hates her father, which jeopardizes the troubled teen’s burgeoning relationship with her teacher.

Gage is shocked by his white-hot attraction to Delaney Dawson. She’s totally different from him, but he can’t stay away from her. However, his daughter needs her more than he does, so he tries distancing her.
But when they learn that Steph is being lured in by a bad crowd with a proclivity towards school violence, all three must work together to prevent deadly consequences.

If you like books about teacher romance, high school romance, reunion romance, opposites attract romance and teacher student relationships, look for the other two stories in the Educators series: STILL THE ONE and SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

Praise for MAYBE THIS TIME:

“The Educators series has been excellent. This last book was a fitting end. Unlike some of Ms Shay's other series this one doesn't leave me hanging about secondary characters.”

“I love the idea of teachers & students. Kathryn Shay has great way of telling a story--love it.”

“Shay is an awesome writer! I buy every book. This series seems as good as the Hidden Cove Fire Department series. You won't be sorry you bought this book!!”

關於作者

Kathryn Shay is a lifelong writer. At fifteen, she penned her first 'romance,' a short story about a female newspaper reporter in New York City and her fight to make a name for herself in a world of male journalists - and with one hardheaded editor in particular. Looking back, Kathryn says she should have known then that writing was in her future. But as so often happens, fate sent her detouring down another path. Fully intending to pursue her dream of big city lights and success in the literary world, Kathryn took every creative writing class available at the small private women's college she attended in upstate New York. Instead, other dreams took precedence. She met and subsequently married a wonderful guy who'd attended a neighboring school, then completed her practice teaching, a requirement for the education degree she never intended to use. But says Kathryn, "I fell in love with teaching the first day I was up in front of a class, and knew I was meant to do that." Kathryn went on to build a successful career in the New York state school system, thoroughly enjoying her work with adolescents. But by the early 1990s, she'd again made room in her life for writing. It was then that she submitted her first manuscript to publishers and agents. Despite enduring two years of rejections, she persevered. And on a snowy December afternoon in 1994, Kathryn Shay sold her first book to Harlequin Superromance. Since that first sale, Kathryn has written twenty-one books for Harlequin, nine mainstream contemporary romances for the Berkley Publishing Group, and two online novellas, which Berkley then published in traditional print format.Kathryn has become known for her powerful characterizations - readers say they feel they know the people in her books - and her heart-wrenching, emotional writing (her favorite comments are that fans cried while reading her books or stayed up late to finish them). In testament to her skill, the author has won five RT BookClub Magazine Reviewers Choice Awards, three Holt Medallions, two Desert Quill Awards, the Golden Leaf Award, and several online accolades. Even in light of her writing success, that initial love of teaching never wavered for Kathryn. She finished out her teaching career in 2004, retiring from the same school where her career began. These days, she lives in upstate New York with her husband and two children. "My life is very full," she reports, "but very happy. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to pursue and achieve my dreams."
