Peach Blossom Series by Karmen Lee

This is how love rolls… For teacher Ava Williams, some subjects are not up for debate. Like history—specifically, the one she has with Grace Jones, bowling pro and local celeb. Who is now, for no identifiable reason, teaching at the same small-town Georgia high school as Ava. Once upon a time, they were thick as thieves, best friends, rivals who pushed each other, and total bowling nerds. Then they shared a kiss, sweet and confusing…and after that, they split and nothing was ever the same... moreThis is how love rolls… For teacher Ava Williams, some subjects are not up for debate.

Then they shared a kiss, sweet and confusing…and after that, they split and nothing was ever the same. Ava is pretty sure she has every reason to hate Grace.

Now they’re expected to be partners and lead their new bowling team to victory in six months. And with that, their rivalry is back.
