Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Flora, that big shot... better not to listen to it.

She was cooler than a cucumber, but he, her mentor, was a bundle of nerves. If she found out, he'd be mortified!

Flora didn't need his advice; he was terrified of saying the wrong thing and messing up her groove.
