Winds of Change by Jo Grafford

Getting hired as a high school principal in her hometown is her biggest dream come true, except for one small detail — her ex runs the security team. During her teen years, Hope Remington was the darling of Heart Lake, and Josh Hawling was…well, bad news on the rough side of town. And now she’s returning as head principal to unite their two rival high schools under one roof. She soon realizes that her biggest challenge isn’t the gangs embedded in the student body. It’s Josh, who's somehow convinced their aging superintendent that he and his security firm partner can keep the campus safe while coaching a bunch of farm boys into a football team that’ll make the playoffs. Hope wonders how she's supposed to improve test scores and graduation rates when her students’ biggest idol is a man who spent more time in the principal’s office than in the classroom. Even though she feels safer having Josh on their crime-ridden campus, she’s not looking forward to her daily encounters with the cocky head of security. Or being socked in the heart all over again by his devastating smile. Or having to finally face her unwanted attraction to him that might have kindled into a lot more if she’d never left Texas in the first place. Welcome to Heart Lake! A small town teaming with old family rivalries and the rumble of horses’ hooves — faith-filled romance that you’ll never forget.
