He's a Shakespeare quoting charmer, but the one girl he wants, refuses to be part of his fan-club. Sent to private school from the time she was a toddler, Aurora, (Rory) Briar, has quickly learned that everyone in life leaves. But one fateful night, on her sixteenth birthday, she dances with a charismatic boy in the woods, creating a sweet memory she has held onto for eight years. Now in her twenties, Rory takes a job as a science teacher at the private academy of Middleton Prep and to her delight, discovers her mystery boy is a fellow teacher. It doesn't take long, however, for those memories to turn sour as she watches Steven Phillips flirt and charm everyone he comes into contact with. Realizing their past meant nothing to him, Rory pushes him away despite the chemistry they share. When they are forced to together on a project for underprivileged youth, Rory and Steven quickly figure out that they must overcome their differences or other people may suffer the consequences. The Middleton Prep series are stand alone, clean romances by best-selling author Laura Ann. They can be read in any order, but to avoid spoilers, it's best to start at the beginning.
