Late Bloomer
by Barbara Lohr
Can romance bloom for a young teacher and her student, ten years after high school graduation? Teacher’s Pest in Carolyn’s English class, Brody had racked up a school record for detentions. He made her miserable with his stunts. She’d been relieved when he graduated. Ten years later?
The four year age difference doesn’t matter when they run into each other in Santa Fe. Not to him, anyway. Miss Knight’s gone from mini-skirts to elasticized waistbands, while Brody’s morphed into His Hotness. Well mannered. Successful. And searching for his past. He’d always liked riling up his pretty teacher.
But in Carolyn’s mind, Brody is still her student. In Santa Fe to help her ailing grandmother, Carolyn discovers darling Mama V has a new beau. She’s reinvented herself. Can Carolyn borrow a page from her book? Brody becomes her guide, teaching her that spontaneity can trump lesson plans. But he was such a player in high school. Has her high school bad boy matured into the man she can love and trust forever?
