Recently divorced, Natalie Verro finds herself in a boutique buying a sexy red dress, and black lacy underthings she really shouldn’t buy. Fueled by the sting of being replaced by a woman who is more boobs, booty, and blonde than she’ll ever be, Natalie swipes her card and finds herself dressed up, sipping something delicious that makes her head hazy, at a quiet hotel bar. She just wanted to feel something—anything. But when a handsome stranger makes her feel not only beautiful and desired, but declares that her cheating, no-good, dirt-bag of an ex-husband is a fool for letting a woman like her go, she finds herself pressed up against an elevator wall, a hard, hot mouth on hers. And then she finds herself in his hotel room, doing things that she’d never done in ten years of marriage to a man she’d thought would be hers until the end.
She finds herself feeling things she has no business feeling for a stranger after a hot one-night stand, so she does what she thinks she should. She flees.
When Connor Mackenzie wakes to find Natalie gone, he resigns himself to life as it was before her—before heat and wonder and something that could have been love touched his soul. But as fate would, she works her magic and, months later, Natalie finds herself taking a job in a high school in a small mountain town. Connor’s town. The two don’t take long to bump into one another, picking up right where they left off in the hotel bed.
But sometimes the desires of the past weave through the future, and life outside of bed becomes complicated, weighed down by old wounds that haven’t been healed, and tender desires that have yet to come to fruition. But when you love the right person, anything is possible.
