She’s looking for a side hustle to help pay down a mountain of student debt, and his financial portfolio is the stuff of fiduciary dreams. She’s a public school science teacher with stars in her eyes, and he’s a pretentious, joyless double PhD turned world-famous bestselling fiction author. The truth is, they have nothing in common. Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they’re not even friendly. Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser are not best friends.
