Book Blurb:
For bookstore owner Lydia White, another geographical move doesn’t faze her. She doesn’t even bat an eyelash at one more curveball thrown into her life plan. Five years running from a man who broke her heart, and her spirit, has taught her to keep her walls up.
Scared to trust again, Lydia swears to keep all men off limits. Even Aaron Casey, who seems too perfect to be true. With a daughter to protect and a life to build, she simply can’t afford to let her guard down.
But when William Davis, a seventy-something recovering alcoholic, steps into Lydia’s bookstore for the first time, holding the secret to saving both of their lives, she might have to learn that trusting a man with her life is just as dangerous as trusting one with her heart.

Excerpt:
“Come here,” I tell her as I lean in across the table.
“What?” She drops her head to the side.
“Come here,” I say again.
Lydia hesitantly leans in, but nevertheless, she leans in toward my mouth.

Lydia hesitantly leans in, but nevertheless, she leans in toward my mouth.
“I need you, Lydia,” I whisper in her mouth before I kiss her. She doesn’t move.
She doesn’t hesitate but welcomes my tongue into her mouth.
I don’t care that I’m kissing her in front of patrons at the restaurant.
She doesn’t hesitate but welcomes my tongue into her mouth.
I don’t care that I’m kissing her in front of patrons at the restaurant.
I don’t care if the rumor mill starts.
I’m making a statement.
I love this woman, and I want everyone to know about it.
Let them talk because kissing Lydia is like seeing in vivid color.

I love this woman, and I want everyone to know about it.
Let them talk because kissing Lydia is like seeing in vivid color.
Like feeling the warm breeze. Like the first taste of a beer on a hot summer day. Like the first time you hear I love you against a lover’s lips. The feeling of being wrapped up in a perfect moment. Where your mind is present and not in yesterday or today but right now.
I pull away but only a little, so I can say, “I’m going to need you to touch my body tonight, Lyd.” I don’t ask if she’s okay with it. Because, looking in her eyes, I know she needs this, too.
