Jess Wainwright loves her teaching position at the village school. Despite the occasional frog in her chair. What she doesn't love is the interfering school superintendent, Cadoc Morgan.

Jess and Cadoc are both firmly opposed to each other - until a reckless bargain exposes everything seething beneath the surface between them.
