    About this ebook

    Russ Sanderson, a recent college graduate, is hired as a counselor at Concordia High. Because of his good looks, nice physique, and boyish charm, he is a big hit with lots of the girls, who refer to him as the hunk. Soon a rapport begins to develop between him and Laurie Cotter, a junior.
    By chance during the summer they meet on Cape Cod where their rapport turns into love. Moose Monahan, a jock, who has a crush on Laurie, finds out about their affair and provokes a fight with Russ. The latter emerges the victor; the latter, the loser.
    Seething with anger and jealousy, Moose is hell-bent on getting revenge. At a school dance, he attacks Russ, who is a chaperone. Although once again he loses the fight, he blabs about the counselor's affair with Laurie. The next morning when both Russ and Laurie are called to the principal's office, sparks fly. For her sake, however, he hands in his resignation.

    T. J. Robertson

    Although I’ve made my living as a teacher and guidance counselor, I’ve always had a passion for writing. Thomas Bouregy and Company published my novel, Return to Paradise Cove, under their Avalon imprint. Two of my one-act plays, A Different Kind of Death, and The Flirt, have been produced, respectively, in New Haven, Connecticut, and Sacramento, California. Short stories of mine have appeared in commercial magazines such as Action and True Romance as well as in certain literary and professional ones.

      Oh, Laurie, you should meet the new guidance counselor. What a hunk! He's a dead ringer for Ryan Gosling.

      That exclamation came from Amy Landers, my best friend, whose insolent dark eyes, fleshy nose, and pursed lips made her appear unfriendly, if not hostile. Nothing, however, could have been further from the truth; for, beneath that gruff exterior beat a heart of gold.

      Oh, sure, and I'm Emma Stone. I mocked her because one thing was for certain; she was no connoisseur of American manhood.

      Placing her hands on her plump hips and thrusting her moon face close to mine, she said, How come so many of our friends are going to the guidance office to switch to him?

      They can take my place, I replied with disinterest.

      You don't know how lucky you are to be assigned to him, she pouted.

      Miss Elsie Betts, a hefty, fortyish woman with a perpetual smile and neat sense of humor, had been my counselor. Now, in the middle of my junior year, she had resigned to marry a dairyman from Vermont. What else would you expect from someone named Elsie? she is said to have quipped at a going-away party.

      Russell Sanderson, a young recent college graduate from the Midwest, was her replacement. When I saw him passing in the corridor, I had to admit Amy was right. With curly blond hair, deep blue eyes, and a warm smile, he was good-looking, if not handsome. And his tall, athletic build made him even more so. Unlike many of my friends, however, I refused to rush down to the guidance office and, in a swoon, sign up to see him. Besides, I was not one of those students who hang around there and pour their hearts out. Once a year Miss Betts would come looking for me and literally drag me back to her office for a meeting. And that annual ritual was fine with me.

      Mr. Sanderson did not catch
