Opposites Distract. Aurora Springs, #2

HelbyAfter nearly a decade of hearing I'm too loud, quirky, and embarrassing, I shed my dead weight and gained freedom via divorce. Quitting the lackluster job of interior decorator, I pursue my passion, sharing my love for the arts as a high school art teacher. With a promising young student in danger of missing a life-altering scholarship, I'm determined to get to the root of Rick's resistance. Just my luck, I'm led to my best friend's brother, former childhood crush, and one-time fling and virginity taker.
AriasI knew when the curvy, purple-haired minx strutted into the shop during my shift that karma had come to collect. Shelby was the temptation I risked everything to indulge in. Back then, I was worried about dragging her name through the mud. Being associated with me would've painted her with a scarlet letter when the town viewed my family as tainted. Times have changed, and I'm ready to make up for the hurt I once caused.
A common goal brought us together, and I don't intend to let the opening go to waste.
