The Teacher’s Pet: A BRAND NEW dark and twisty thriller of hidden identities and long-buried secrets for 2026

It’s always a risk when you go searching for trouble, because sometimes trouble will hunt you back.

I never thought I’d come back here... to this island. To this school...

As a student, Meridian Secondary nearly destroyed me, and I’ve been running from the truth for nearly twenty years. But I’m not that love-sick teacher’s pet anymore; now I’m the one in charge, and I’ll do anything to keep my true identity buried.

No one knows how far I went – we went – for love... ⚠️👀

THE TEACHER’S PET is a dual timeline psychological thriller perfect for fans of Dorothy Koomson and T.M. Logan.
