**This is the first episode of the 2nd season. Its 3500 words. Episodes will be released weekly and word count will range between 3000-6000.

Elle Butler, the bold and self-reliant new resident of the upscale Divinity suburb, takes center stage in the second part of the Desperate series.

Though she’s now closer to her best friend and her godson, she feels more isolated than ever after a fight has ripped them apart, forcing Elle to face her demons before she can repair what she broke.

With a past marred by trauma and lost love, Elle’s sole focus is her career in the demanding world of high fashion - not a man. But her ex is released from prison, and professional collaboration with an unlikely suitor from her past shakes the foundations of her fiercely independent lifestyle.

As professional and personal lines blur, Elle faces a choice: cling to her protective barriers or embrace a future possibly filled with healing and love.
