Better Than

For a woman on the verge of a new life, romance is at the bottom of her To Do list...
With a New Year beginning, twenty-five-year-old Deborah Lee Jackson has a major list of resolutions. Newly divorced, unfulfilled by her job, and carrying a few extra pounds, Deborah's ready for a mind, body, spirit makeover, and she's starting at the local University. From yoga to painting to healthy cooking, finding a man is the last thing on her mind. But fate has other plans...

He's agreed to do a teaching stint to help out a friend, but nothing's going to mess with his concentration, which is why he's sworn off women--until a tall, voluptuous, sultry voiced sister adds a splash of color and spice to his bland classroom of conservative bored housewives. Now, despite Deborah's wounded heart and Jason's celibacy, a magical romance begins. But can it hold up when real-life interferes...?
