Charlie isn’t looking for love, especially with a woman. Charlie Ray is looking for new ethical partners as she establishes a new venture in Portsmouth. When a young woman in cowgirl jeans lasciviously comes onto her at a Women in Business conference, Charlie senses a honey trap. She rejects Tori’s advances, but is surprised by the heat of her own reaction when Tori seduces her into a kiss. Charlie doesn’t trust her own judgment in relationships. After a lifetime of used and emotionally abused by her parents and then her husband, she is finally in control of her own life and business. She isn’t about to let anyone in without first trusting them completely. Tori Matthews has ways of managing her ADHD in her business life, through structure, planning, routine, and line dancing, but struggles to reign in her impulsivity in her personal life, choosing hook-ups and short term affairs over commitment. After overtly checking Charlie out as she checks in, Tori is mortified when her anxiety at being the keynote speaker dials up her emotional dysfunction. If she was going to have any chance of a relationship, she is going to have to learn new ways of coping with her emotional dysfunction, exactly as she has in her business life. Despite Tori’s inappropriate advances, they form a strong business connection, but will the bubbling intensity of their growing attraction survive Tori’s neurodiversity and Charlie’s trust issues? If you love lesbian age gap romance, this delightful page-turner set in Camden and Portsmouth is for you.
