Synopsis
A summer fling might be just what they need.
Can they help each other with matters of the heart?
Or will his past keep them apart?
Cecilia
Now that my daughter's off to college, what am I supposed to do at home? My husband's always working, and when he's home, we barely talk. Maybe, some time at a secluded cabin in the mountains will help to clear my head. But then, I meet him.
It can't hurt to give just for the summer. Right?
Damon
My wife died four years ago. This is a small town, where everyone knows everyone and everything, and I know I won't find anyone like Sam again. But just when I think I'm ready to leave this town and start somewhere new, I meet her.
The only problem? She's married.
But worse, I don't give a damn.
This book is for an audience age 18+ due to graphic language and scenes.
This book does have a small cliffhanger, but don't worry, more is to come in the second book.
