Lessons in Love by Sybil Kelton

She wants a fresh start. He wants to hide from the world. Love has a lesson for both of them.

Kelsey wants a fresh start. And what place could be better than Brightwater, a picturesque town in Oregon, over a thousand miles away from her toxic ex? No money, no high school diploma, and a scorned ex-husband hot on her heels, but Kelsey is determined to make it.
The burn scars on his face have turned Quentin into a recluse. He has his job as a high school teacher, a sick mother to care for, and no interest in letting a woman into his life again.
When Kelsey shows up in Brightwater with nothing but her backpack at the apartment next door to Quentin, they immediately get off on the wrong foot.
He thinks she’s rude; she finds him stuck up.
Sure, he’s damn handsome in his quiet, reserved way, but Kelsey just knows Quentin’s only playing classical music to show off—no one listens to Bach that loud.
But when Kelsey’s new boss demands that she gets her GED by the end of the year and Quentin falls behind in rent, their kindhearted landlady orchestrates an arrangement: Quentin will tutor Kelsey and help her pass her exam.

Now Kelsey must deal with this obnoxious know-it-all once a week. If only she could focus more on the study material and less on his intense amber eyes and the way her heart skips a beat every time their hands touch.
