**Story is undergoing revision to edit and fine tune details** Tall, check. Tan, check. Handsome, triple check! Dasha's history teacher this year is anything from ordinary. Mr. Hayden Blaze is quote on quote the "sexiest man to walk the Earth" according to every other awestruck freshman at the University. So what would happen if Mr. Blaze just so happened to land his eyes on Dasha? There is such a thing as history repeating itself, but where did it ever prove that a teacher and student could get away with a relationship without anyone noticing?

Guadalupe Martinez has never questioned her heritage: she's always been content with the life she leads in Tonala, Mexico, with her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and adoptive parents. But when her son Lorenzo is expecting a child and wants to know the truth about Guadalupe's past, a search for information about her biological mother leads Guadalupe to the Castillos, who, until now, had no idea that Guadalupe existed. Marisa Castillo cannot reconcile Guadalupe's discovery with what she knows to be true about her mother, and to her, Guadalupe is a stain on Marisa's family history. Either they will put their differences aside and allow their families to merge, or the truth will be too much for them to bear. Author's note: This is an English translation of a short story I originally wrote in Spanish for a third-year Spanish class. I hope that I'll eventually be confident enough in my Spanish abilities to publish the Spanish version, but you all can read this in the meantime.

Why then can she not keep her eyes off Elijah, the school's outcast hiding a dangerous secret? ***** Scarlet Tucker attends Royal Eastwood High: a high school where money determines social status.
