Not From Out of Town

By Natalie Jess and Evy Aster

She's healing from a broken heart.

He's trying to put down roots.

Neither of them are ready for each other.

Poppy Edwards, the local art teacher, is returning to Honey Cove after fleeing the pitying looks and relentless gossip post-breakup. Her best friend is getting married and she wouldn't miss it for the world, but wants to show everyone in her small town that she's moved on.

When there's a cute groomsman she is unfamiliar with, she gives herself the freedom to revel in the independence that comes with spending one night with a stranger.

While she's away, Owen Wright jumps at the chance to teach high school English near his extended family. He's ready to leave the big city behind, put down roots, and finally feel connected to something.

Romance isn't on either of their minds when they give in to one night of temptation.

What was supposed to be a casual hookup turns into something else entirely when they find out they're teaching at the same school a week later.

Will they be able to keep things professional, or will they indulge in the undeniable passion they feel whenever they're together?

Not From Out of Town is a spicy, small town, workplace standalone romance.
