Flir­ty Lit­tle Secret

School coun­selor Lucy Galin­do has a secret.

To her cowork­ers, friends, and even fam­i­ly, she’s shy, sweet, and con­stant­ly strug­gling to hold off dis­as­ter (read: man­age her anx­i­ety and depres­sion). But online? She’s bold, con­fi­dent, and always knows what to say — it’s how she’s become the wild­ly pop­u­lar @TheMissGuidedCounselor. It’s also why she keeps her iden­ti­ty anony­mous. Her fol­low­ers would nev­er trust the real Lucy with their prob­lems.

His­to­ry teacher Aldrich Fletch­er thought a new job would give him some relief from his dra­ma-filled fam­i­ly. Instead, he’s dodg­ing his ex-girl­friend and pin­ing over his new co-work­er — who only ever seems to see him at his worst. Thank­ful­ly, he can count on his online con­fi­dant for advice … until he dis­cov­ers @TheMissGuidedCounselor is Lucy.

Now Fletch­er has a secret too. And while Lucy can’t deny there’s some­thing between them, she’s not sure she can trust him. Can they both find the courage to share the truth and step out from behind their screens?
