Opposites Attract: Why We Can’t Resist It

Red meets blue, fire meets ice. Sometimes the most magnetic connections happen when two different worlds collide...

In The First Spark, Ash Hammond and Oriana Thorne are opposites in every sense of the word. He’s a tattooed bad boy with a cocky grin and a Harley; she’s a buttoned-up bookstore owner with a sharp tongue and a quiet resolve. Their clashing personalities are like gasoline and fire—and readers are here for every explosion.  

Ash’s first impression of Ori sets the stage:  

“At first, the woman intrigued me. After renting the rundown space beside me, she turned the dank hovel into a bookstore, complete with a gourmet coffee bar and a stage for open-mic nights. Plus, it didn’t hurt that Oriana was damn easy on the eyes—a tiny wisp of a woman with long dark hair and enormous eyes hidden behind glasses.”  

But Ori’s feelings are far less generous:  

“I can’t stand Asher Hammond. He’s an egotistical oaf—a typical alpha male who will never admit he or his tatted-up buddies could ever be in the wrong.”  

Opposites attract because they challenge each other. Ash’s confidence pushes Ori out of her comfort zone, while Ori’s wit forces Ash to see past his bravado. It’s not just about clashing personalities—it’s about growth, vulnerability, and finding strength in the contrast.
