Wes Jacobsen plays professional hockey for a living. Lydia Crow is a country music singer. They meet and have an instant attraction—but he’s twenty-three and she’s forty-two. Does age really matter in a relationship? Lydia and Wes have a whirlwind romance that lasts six months, but she ends it abruptly—leaving Wes hurt and with unanswered questions. Wes’s MO is to work hard on the ice and play harder off. That is until he meets Lydia, a beautiful woman who grounds him and fulfills him more than any bottle of beer or puck bunny could. It doesn’t take long for Wes’s feelings to develop for her. Lydia wasn’t expecting to have a connection with a man twenty years younger than she is. And when they meet, both agree that a casual relationship is all it would ever be. Until it isn’t. With the odds stacked against them, can a second chance be what they need to make it work this time, or will their differences pull them apart? This book is intended for a mature audience. 18+
Author
Emma Tharp is the USA Today Bestselling Author of The Bluff Harbor Series, Keeping It Casual, Drawn to Dark, and the McLoughlin Brother Series. She was raised in upstate New York. Being an only child, she spent a great deal of time alone, dreaming up characters who would keep her company on long family road trips. Putting her writing on the back burner, she went to college and became a chiropractor. After spending twelve years healing patients, Emma decided—with the help of her amazingly supportive husband—to use the creative side of her brain and let her characters come to the page. If she’s not writing, Emma can be found at the gym, one of her kids sporting events, Starbucks, or a live music event. A perfect day for Emma would be spent at her lake house with her husband, two ginger-haired children, and Vizsla, reading a book and drinking a large cup of coffee (or wine) with music playing in the background.
