When Mavis Kent married Aaron Latimer, she thought she was marrying up. It made sense in a distorted way. Aaron was drop-dead gorgeous, with dark wavy hair, long lean-muscled limbs, and sun-kissed skin. All the other girls wanted him, but Mavis—plain, bookish schoolmarm that she was—nabbed him.
People whispered, “It will never lastâ€, if Mavis heard she ignored them. To her, marriage was forever.
Nicole M. McClain started getting immersed in the creative arts at an early age. After various stints with painting drawing, singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument and acting, it was only a matter of time before she attempted the written word. So far, this art form seems to be sticking. Nicole currently lives in Northern California, but has also called Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio home. She loves cooking, reading, attending arts events, enjoying nature and writing short fiction reviews for Tangent Online. This is her first fiction publication (with two more pending).
