Naughty, But Nice — Jo Ann Algermissen

THEY CAME FROM THE SAME TOWN

Tamara Smith became a teacher in the local high school. She had a reputation for lawlessness -- but she lived by her rules and wasn't afraid to flout town opinion for what she believed was right. Impulsive, independent, she remained the naughty but nice lady from across the tracks.

Damon Foxx was the son of the town judge and became the head of the school board. Prominent, respected, he was considered one of the elite. Born on opposite sides of the tracks, they'd moved in the same direction -- carrying a secret yearning.

No two people could be more different.... But there are no rules in the lesson of love.
