Madison Buchanan’s life has imploded…

Her husband left her for his nineteen-year-old intern, leaving her alone and faced with starting over in her forties. With the help of her feisty best friend, Madison reinvents herself, armed with a new look and open to new possibilities.

Sean Taylor is gorgeous, fun, and young—very young…

He hasn’t had the best of luck. Sean’s track record with women is less than stellar, but when he walks into The Den one day, he just can’t help but be captivated by a dark haired beauty with the sad eyes and killer legs. She’s a little older, but he doesn’t discriminate. More than anything, he wants to be the one to make her smile.

Sean personifies the only thing that has eluded Madison all of her life—joy…

It was meant to be a fling, something fun, with no strings and zero drama, but Sean wants something more, and Madison is just not ready. She’s lived by the rules her family, her friends, even her boss have laid out for her, but her new life is not what she expected. Being with Sean opens feelings she never thought she’d experience.

The the demands of her family and her job throw her boring, simple life into chaos, and Sean is no exception…

Madison is left with a choice. Give in to the expectations of the world around her—or choose to follow her heart and be happy.

But choosing happy is so much harder than it seems.

“So beautiful, tell me about yourself,” I said, hoping to steer the conversation down a lighter path.

“Why?”

I laughed. “Why not?”

“Don’t you think I’m a little old for you?”

I smiled. “I don’t discriminate when it comes to beautiful women.”

She laughed. “I’m sure you don’t.”

“So, tell me something.”

“Look, Sean, you’re sweet, but…”

I clutched my chest and doubled over feigning pain. “Sweet? Sweet is the kiss of death,” I said.

“What?”

“No guy wants to be sweet. Hot, sure. Sexy, definitely. Ruggedly handsome, well that’s a given, but sweet is just female code for I’m never gonna sleep with you.”

“That’s not what I meant,” she said.

I raised an eyebrow and leaned in closer. “Oh, so you do want to sleep with me?”

“What? No!” She leaned away from me, so flustered that her cheeks turned fourteen different shades of red. She covered her face with her hands and I laughed, taking a hold of her wrists to pull her hands away. Her blush and that shyness was sexy as hell. She seemed so reserved and quiet, but every once in a while, especially when provoked, this witty, sassy side came out and it made me want more.

“It’s nothing to be embarrassed about,” I said. “A lot of women want to sleep with me.”
