Love by Degree
Macomber, Debbie
It seemed to be a perfect arrangement

Ellen Cunningham had decided to go back to college in Seattle. She would get her degree and become the best first-grade teacher around.

Money was tight, and she was lucky to find inexpensive lodging in a house with three young college boys. Though she was only five years older, Ellen played housemother in exchange for low rent, a situation that pleased everyone.

Except Reed Morgan, the absentee owner. When he returned unexpectedly, he wasn't happy to discover his house occupied by a bunch of college boys and Ellen.

Especially Ellen . . .
