She’s forty-four, newly divorced and done settling. He’s tattooed, protective and dangerously easy to want.
Finley
I saw Sophie before she saw me. Beautiful. Guarded. Trying very hard to look like a woman who had everything under control. She didn’t. Not that night. Not when another man mistook her silence for permission.
I should have walked away after I stepped in. I should have let her thank me and leave it there. Instead, she came to my studio with cake, nervous eyes and a smile I couldn’t stop thinking about. Now I want more. More of her time. More of her trust. More of the woman who keeps insisting she has nothing left to offer.
She’s wrong. And I’m going to prove it.
Sophie
I have spent years doing the sensible thing. The responsible thing. The thing everyone expected me to do. Look where that got me. Now I'm forty-four, starting over and trying to convince myself that wanting more isn't selfish.
Then I meet Finley. He's temptation wrapped in ink and confidence, with a habit of looking at me for just a second too long. I tell myself he's a distraction. A rebound. A mistake waiting to happen.
But every time he touches me, every time he smiles at me, every time he makes me feel seen, it becomes a little harder to believe my future is something to survive rather than something to look forward to. And that's a risk I'm not sure I'm ready to take.
A steamy contemporary romance about starting over, wanting more, and the kind of man who refuses to let the woman he wants believe she is too late for love.
