From the New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk Away comes a stunning new novel full of heart and hope.
Samantha Casey is a school librarian who loves her job, the kids, and her school family with passion and joy for living.
But she wasn’t always that way.
Duncan Carpenter is the new school principal who lives by rules and regulations, guided by the knowledge that bad things can happen.
But he wasn’t always that way.
And Sam knows it. Because she knew him before―at another school, in a different life. Back then, she loved him―but she was invisible. To him. To everyone. Even to herself. She escaped to a new school, a new job, a new chance at living. But when Duncan, of all people, gets hired as the new principal there, it feels like the best thing that could possibly happen to the school―and the worst thing that could possibly happen to Sam. Until the opposite turns out to be true. The lovable Duncan she’d known is now a suit-and-tie wearing, rule-enforcing tough guy so hell-bent on protecting the school that he’s willing to destroy it.
As the school community spirals into chaos, and danger from all corners looms large, Sam and Duncan must find their way to who they really are, what it means to be brave, and how to take a chance on love―which is the riskiest move of all.

Same here! Kdramas have been my saving grace this past year. My VIKI subscription has been worth the price.
I agree with most of your recommendations although I will add that some of the older Kdramas you listed need to be viewed with the same lens as older romance novels-if you’re looking, you can find problematic tropes like in secret garden but some of them do stand the test of time and most of them I find incredibly enjoyable anyway.
Fight for my way, CLOY, and Another Miss Oh are all in my top 5 favorites. Goblin and coffee prince are must sees along with Descendants of the Sun just so you can be well-versed in the most popular dramas of all time.
I would also like to add Its ok to not be ok (available on Netflix) and the newest version of 1% of something (VIKI) to your romance list.
My #1 favorite is actually not a typical romance but it is flawless-My Mister. I prefer the VIKI translations but it’s also available on Netflix.
True beauty (VIKI) was such a gem and so very enjoyable.
Just between lovers is also in my top five
Happy watching!!!
***Spoiler alert***
Oh, and just for discussion purposes, I didn’t really enjoy Ghostess, the girl that comes back isn’t the actual girl he fell in love with.
